"Exceptional service and communication. All aspects of the generator install were flawless. The office communicated all phases perfectly and executed the plan as scheduled. The installation team was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and diligent. The team of 3 installers worked like a well oiled machine, keeping the installation moving forward and completing the install in a timely fashion. Once completed, they went over the operation of the generator in a clear and easily understandable step by step instructions. The grounds were left clean, prior to departure. Short Circuit is an excellently run operation."

"Jeff responded quickly to my initial inquiry, made an appointment that was convenient for me, was on time and completed the work in a timely manner. I was not familiar with malibu lighting maintenance and I appreciated Jeff showing me how to set my lights myself, change the bulbs, etc. Jeff's rates were also most reasonable. I would highly recommend him."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
