"We are part way through the process of installation of a Backup home generator. Rob provided excellent information at the first visit. He discussed various options for our home, and the process made me very confident about the decisions we made."

"We first called Cawiamca to see if they could repair our old split system. The guys cane out the same day. Unfortunately, the old system is was quite obsolete and it just wasn't worth repairing. Ron got us a quote on a new system immediately. Within a few days we had a whole new system installed! Price was reasonable, the guys all were pleasant and professional. We are way more than pleased with the outcome! And we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cawiamca to anyone!"

"I hired Elevate Electric to install multiple electrical outlets in my basement after a waterproofing project. Kyle installed electrical outlets, ran a new circuit, and upgraded a breaker. The result looks outstanding! The new circuit wire is routed cleanly and he even dressed up some previous wiring too. Kyle shaped conduit around existing items along the basement wall making the whole utility room look good. This is probably the 4th time I have hired Kyle for electrical work. He consistently does great work. The quality is top notch and his pricing is extremely fair. You cannot go wrong with Elevate."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.
