"Tui and his sons provided outstanding service to us, helping resolve an electrical problem we had experienced for years. Our home had too many appliances running on one circuit, which caused the breakers to trip, especially when using the air conditioners. Tui and his sons were able to run a new line to help distribute the electrical load, allowing us to run our AC units without constantly tripping the breakers. Their quick service, knowledge, kindness, and genuine care brought much-needed relief to us, especially in the heat. Beyond solving the electrical issue, they provided peace of mind and showed what it means to serve others with aloha. We are truly grateful for the work Tui and his sons did for our family. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, dependable, and caring electrical service. Mahalo nui loa, Tui to you and your sons!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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. 

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.
