"Excellent experience — Highly recommend to homeowners in the Tallahassee area!! I was nervous about having an EV charger installed based on YouTube videos related to malfunctions leading to possible house fires. After researching the project, I learned that the issues were primarily related to improper installs of the 240 volt outlet. I also learned it was important to hire an experienced electrical pro who could hardwire the charger. Weston Trawick proved to be the right choice from the initial visit with the service manager, Robbie Gilliam to the install with Jason Whitman and his assistant (apologies for forgetting the assistant’s name). They were extremely professional and patient with me throughout the install and allow me the watch the process from beginning to end. Additionally, Weston Trawick’s price was the best of the 4 electricians that quoted the project."

"Tim Frazier is the best. He is very knowledgeable and explained what he would be doing and how the installation would be performed. Tim was punctual and so very kind. He went above and beyond of what was expected of him in getting our Generac installed ahead of schedule. On the day of installation, Tim was accompanied by Sean and Hoyt. They worked very hard, were very knowledgeable and very kind and helpful. Jay works in the office and is such a fine person who is very knowledgeable and went out of his way to keep us informed of any changes or the day and time we could expect things to happen. I called him several times with questions and he always had an answer for me. Jay is so very kind. We have never had such a fine group of men do such a fine job for us. Lightforce, you are very fortunate to have these men on your team. Again, thank you for caring for your clients. I apologize for not getting this response out sooner but I was going to take a picture of the the Generac and all the fine work that was performed but was unable to get the picture from my phone to my computer. Anyone needing electrical work done, you can't go wrong with Lightforce Electrical."

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.

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.

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. 

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.
