Our Big Frog, James Crofutt, after having worked for the larger electrical companies, decided the industry needed a change so, Big Frog Electric jumped in with a splash in 2011. His 21 years of experience in the field backed with numerous certifications and licenses makes our know-how hard to beat. Having spent these years directly interfacing with customers, James understands that customers priorities include personable service, fast response times, the ability to trust that the job is being done right, and professionalism. At Big Frog Electric we do not have commissioned salesman, just electricians that have your safety as their #1 priority and not their pockets! We fill a void in the disappearing art of craftsmanship, integrity and character in the electrical contracting business. Our Frogs are fully dedicated to the electrical trade, its research, industry knowledge and are actively on the edge of new technologies. Each Tadpole (new hires) we recruit displays optimal craftsmanship, knowledge, courtesy and professionalism with each project - from inspection to conception to completion. You can have peace of mind with Big Frog Electric on the job. Big Frog Electric is a family-owned, owner-operated, electrical service company that appreciate the communities we service and gives back where we can. One way that Big Frog Electric gives back is by offering a special discount to all of our public school teachers, veterans, seniors and first responders. Award winning .

"Outstanding service ! I supposedly had a plumber coming and called Frog Electric on short notice to tie in the project and do some other wiring including running unerground service to my camper. The owner ,James ,and his crew Tom and David and later two other employees whose names I did not catch did a great job .Thank you all."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

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. 

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
