"We just moved to the area and had an issue with electricity when we purchased a new appliance. Mr. Electric of Southeast GA sent a young man to our house to fix the issue. I cannot explain how happy I am with him. Not only was this young man polite, on time and professional but he got along with my husband like they had been friends forever. That goes a long way in my book! We will definitely be using this company again for any electrical needs we may have and highly recommend them!"

"Josh was the first electrician out of about 8 that finally got back to me and not only that, but he was very prompt, friendly and professional. I requested a quote for an interlock kit, 50a inlet and a breaker box (I have my own generator). Josh was able to give it to me with just a few pictures provided. Right there I booked him to come out the next week. He showed up right on time and got right to work. My wife was home as I’m on deployment and he was very friendly and when the install was done, gave her a rundown on how to use it all. I would highly recommend him and his company as this experience was one of the best ones I have had with an electrician but as well as any contractor I have needed so far since I purchased this home and have renovated it top to bottom. I will be calling him next time I need any electrical work done!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.
