"Yuri discussed the issue over the phone and described the steps needed to correct the problem. I sent photos of the breaker panel so he could confirm what we had installed. We agreed on a time, he arrived exactly on time and had everything done quickly and efficiently for the price we discussed. His price was reasonable and what I would’ve expected. Plus he’s a nice person. I will definitely use him the next time I need work done."

Customers say: Quick response

"I don't usually write reviews because it's time consuming and I often don't find providers to be exceptionally good or bad - but I definitely read them - so consider this worth double weight: I thought Mr. Ross did a wonderful job explaining the full extent of the project, and how he would handle the details. Super knowledgeable! He got all the permits, fixed the roof patch that was needed, and cleaned up the mess. His crew was clean cut and on-time, and he stuck by his quoted price. I will hire him again for a shed electric project I have coming up. Great work, Ross stands by his name."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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. 

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

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. 

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.
