"10 yr old Generac GP6500E wouldn’t start. Called around and many want to upsell to permanent. Found Franks and what a delight. Honest, down to earth, affordable for senior. Showed up on time. Changed oil, spark plug. Pulled carburetor and found it dirty and fouled. Got used one from his shop(same day) and installed. Gen started right up on one or two pulls. Battery was dead but showed us how to replace. Highly recommend Frank’s Generator."

"Cale and his team have done a couple big jobs for us - installed a generator hookup/transfer switch and upgraded our system from 100 to 200 AMPs. Of all contractors I've worked with, Paradise Electric is by far the best, most-efficient, tidy, responsive, reliable, high-value operation I've dealt with. I am very thankful to have found this team and highly recommend them for any electrical work."

"They came out in the middle of a storm and promptly hooked the generator to my panel. While I thought I’d be running extension cords to my appliances it turned out that the whole house was up and running. I wish I had done this earlier. I would recommend MGT for any electrical needs. I will surely use them again."

"Incredible experience. Matt and Miseal came to my 1960s era condo in rural CT to do an assessment of what I wanted. Matt (a veritable genius) recommended in order to save time (labor $) and to help bring my aging condo into the 20th century, to install the new Lutron Caseta system. Turns out, it’s Alexa, Google, and Apple compatible, in addition to just being wireless. Over the decades, Ive wired outlets, switches, ceiling fans, and fixtures of all types many, many times. This system is light years ahead of “old school”. With a simple Echo Dot or Echo Show and the affordably priced Caseta bridge, even my adult son could easily control my lighting and ceiling fans from his house or anywhere in the world. Incredulous! This system actually becomes part of your environment, so to speak. Anyhow, I got the quote a day or so later from Equipment Unlimited and was “dead nuts” right where I thought it would be and thought was reasonable. 1 week later, everything is done, working perfectly, not a single glitch. Again… incredulous. Matt and Miseal were neat and tidy, which was great because their working with me there did not ignite my OCD. Cleaned and used a tarp as they went from one area to another. If you’re looking to electrically update your home, consider yourself freaking lucky if you get Matt and Miseal. Personable, clean, on time, reasonable and yes, even a sense of humor; a rarity among electricians. EXCELLENT JOB, Matt and Miseal from Equipment Unlimited. You made this old swamp yankee a very happy guy."

"The owner, Johnny, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The work was done promptly within the timeframe we needed it to be done. Johnny also helped recommend some ways to improve/save money during our home renovation. Would highly recommend and hire again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

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.
