"We’re very pleased with Lancer’s work. He installed two light fixtures, two wall switches, and a hardwired outlet strip in a wall previously not wired for this. It involved excavating the drywall and drilling sideways through wall studs to pull wire to the appropriate six areas. He accomplished this by making a mere two holes in the drywall (not including the holes behind the fixtures. This was no easy feat since it’s an exterior wall with insulation, making fishing wire a considerable pain (which I know because I’ve had to do it when installing a TV where I ran the wires inside the wall). He arrived on time, and his work was quick, clean, and efficient, with all fixtures placed level and even. He is obviously very experienced. I would provide pictures but with the electrical now done, I’m in the process of repairing some unrelated drywall imperfections in the same wall and doing a skim coat so everything is taped off and dusty. We will definitely be hiring Lancer again."

"Gridwise handled the electrical component of our solar wiring project. Stas explained what was included and what could change depending on what they found in the panel, which I thought was super nice and thoughtful. On site, Enrique and the crew were calm and methodical. When a small issue popped up, they gave options (with trade-offs) rather than just making us accept the issue. Everything looks clean, and inspection went through without issues. Would def recommend them to friends and fam for any future projects!"

"I had 2 ceiling fan/lights installed in the bedrooms. Installation included 2 new circular circuit boxes in each bedroom ceiling. In addition, I replaced the kitchen ceiling light with an LED fixture. The 2 workers were very polite and professional and worked quickly and efficiently, in addition to being respectful of my personal belongings."

"The consultation with Sean was very helpful and corrected the unit we actually needed. The work was done in a timely way, very professional and thorough. The hook up of the transfer switch was perfect on the trial runs with the generator. Sean has quiet confidence that he communicated with me and gave me the trust I needed to work with his family business that was new to me. I would go right back to Fitzgerald again. Good team, good work, and good service."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

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.
