After working for the family business for 25 years, I decided it was time to branch out on my own. Giving a product that my customers are proud of and can rely on was what my father taught me. I intend to keep it as the foundation of my company. We have a small but efficient team that keeps up with all the latest building codes and styles. The diverse knowledge of our staff allows us to do everything from lighting design to home theater, solar systems, and motor control panels. No job is too small or big. Give us a call today!

"Joe and his crew installed multiple different items at our house over the last couple years. -A generator transfer switch. -New can light fixtures. -Replaced all interior outlets. -Ran conduit on our back pergola for installed multiple outlets and a ceiling fan with a hard wired on/off switch. -Rewired our entire garage to bring it code compliant and safe. Joe and his crew were always polite, on time, answered the phone when we called and walked us through different options we had when unforeseen items came up. Joe brought our projects in on time and on budget. We will be using him for all our future electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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. 

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.
