"Installation was great and generator has run perfectly since. Their monthly service has also given us the peace of mind to know it will be ready when we need it. This is also the second home I have purchased a generator from them and they have always done a fantastic job."

"Actually, Power and Control Installations did much more than install electrical switches, outlets and fixtures. They installed a new 20 amp breaker, and ran wiring 60 feet underground to my new shed. The electrician they sent out was very professional, courteous, and answered all my questions. The work was completed to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend this company to others."

"Outstanding service. From the initial quote to final installation, everything was smooth and professional. He clearly knew what he was doing, ensured everything was up to code, and kept the work area clean. He also took the time to explain how to use the charger and answered all my questions. It’s rare to find this level of quality and customer care—highly recommend!”"

"The whole experience from start to finish rates a 5, I would go higher if I could. Dexter returned my call right a way and scheduled a time to come by. (Not a time frame) on arrival he was very courteous and professional. Went the extra mile to make sure that fan was installed properly. Once done I was asking some questions about changing some light fixtures and replacing a exhaust fan in the bathroom in the near future, he checked out the fan and got it running before he left. Great guy I will definitely be calling him back in the future and will recommend him to our friends.."

"The man is truly amazing. His work is outstanding. He installed a whole house Generac generator for me and has since become an authorized Generac dealer and serviceman. I had 4 different company's give me estimates and he blew them away with a great price and fast service. Big company's put me on their waiting list. Some were up to 10 weeks out. He completed the job in 3 weeks. His work is clean and neat. One of his best attributes is that he is HONEST and does all the work himself with the aid of a helper, so you know that the job is done right. He is fully licensed and insured. I feel like I have an electrician I can truly trust."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

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, 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. 

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. 

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.
