"Excellent experience with Brook Forest Electric. It’s rare to find a local team that truly understands the high stakes of industrial operations, but they nailed it. We brought them in for some specialized troubleshooting on our controllers and a MUCH needed panel upgrade at our facility. They were professional, stayed focused on our safety protocols, great at communication, and kept our uptime a priority so we didn't lose our valuable production time, especially with us being a smaller local business. I was so impressed with their commercial work that I actually had them out to my house for a residential fix last week. Even on a smaller scale, they brought that same industrial-level precision and attention to detail. It’s great to have a dependable, locally owned specialist, and I highly recommend them for both your business and beyond! Thank you!"

"Really responsive and prompt, especially in the installation phase. We did have a couple of small hiccups, which in my mind a homeowner should expected on literally any remodeling project, and they were resolved quickly. Communication on final details like inspections could have been smoother, but overall the whole process was very clear, well managed, and well executed. Happy with the choice to go with Red Rocks."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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. 

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
