"Austin and his team have been wonderful to work with. We had extensive experience with them after our generator was struck by lightning. Austin was incredibly professional and reliable. He wrote letters to our insurance and helped us get our new generator covered he was very honest and knowledgeable. He patiently handled all the back and forth paperwork with the insurance, helped us pick a new generator and just gave us great advice and his prices were very reasonable. He even helped us get the new generator installed quickly before our new baby was born during hurricane season. I am so grateful we found him and highly recommend him and his team."

"Danilo and his paint crew are amazing! From the beginning, he was super responsive and let me know everything that was happening every step of the way. My job took about 4 days; each day I was contacted regarding start/end time, and what was being completed each day. The team also cleaned up each day and kept the work space neat and tidy. The finished product is beautiful! I would highly recommend this crew for any jobs and will be contacting them again for more work!"

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. 

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

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. 

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more.
