"I recently had an electrical home inspection performed by Jimenez electrical contractors, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. The inspector was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain every detail and provided valuable insights into the electrical system of my home. The scheduling was smooth and convenient. They also arrived on a timely manner. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and comprehensive electrical home inspection. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

"We have used these guys a couple of times for a couple of different projects. Tony specifically came out to do a small job for us in a home that we were getting ready to sale. We busted out a kitchen wall and he showed up and not only hung out new lights and installed our outlets but also told us the best way to re route our electrical for our stove for it to be stable. We used them again on a property that we just purchased where new electrical was being run. He came out and wired our meter for our temporary meter box and it passed inspections with out any issue at all. This company takes pride in their business and I recommend them over and over to people asking for trustworthy, dependable and affordable electricians."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

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.

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.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.
