"We had Liberty install a transfer switch about a month before Hurricane Sally. The switch worked perfectly and allowed us to plug our portable generator into the house. We had electricity while the generator was running and were able to run most every thing in the house including the A/C in the Florida room. Made life better. Highly recommend Liberty electric."

"We had several jobs done, the largest was to upgrade our outside electrical panel for power from FPL and our service panel in the garage. We wanted xtra circuit breakers, whole house surge protection, new lighting and electrical outlets for our Patio and outside storage building. Additionally, the installation of a WHOLE HOUSE GENERATOR OUTLET (to run portable generator for whole house electric). Plus several repairs and upgrades to ceiling fans and light switches. I am VERY satisfied with all the work and the POFESSIONAL manner that all all personnel displayed during this huge job. I NEVER recommend a company that I have issues or doubts about their work. Blue Marlin Electric has earned my trust and is my now "go to" company for all electrical questions and/or issues. My thanks to Ron, Sam and everyone involved at Blue Marlin Electric."

"Totally happy. Just had my Generator hook-up today and everything went well. I would recommend them. Communication was excellent from the time I asked for a quote. They were on time that day for the quote and showed up on time for each faze of the installation. They left the work area as clean as when they found them. Totally Happy."

"The evaporator coil was leaking water all in the unsealed return air box area, left that way by the original installation company. I decided to call Selectricity Cooling and Heating. Josh came over and evaluated the problem and made recommendations, all of which I agreed with. He completed all the work and answered all my questions. Then he cleaned up the area, and he made sure everything was working properly. I am totally confident in Josh's work, and I appreciate his honesty, hard work and professionalism. My AC is cooling great now, and I will definitely be calling Selectricity in the future, and requesting Josh for yearly the AC check up. I highly recommend Selectricity Cooling & Heating. I'm so glad that I called them. They really exceeded my expectations. Thank you Josh, and thank you Jan in the office."

"My experience with Beachside Electrical could not have gone better. Randy was fast to respond and responsibly priced. They came out and installed my new fixtures in less time than expected. I will have them back for more work in the near future."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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.

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. 

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.
