"Eric Fierro did all I expected and more. He arrived on time and was patient as I was helping someone at a sale. He did his estimate and then performed the work. He was conversive, attentive, and informative all while continuing to work. When finished, other than the new outlets and ground wire one would not have known he was there. When finished the the charge for the service was what he estimated. I could not have gone better. Thanks to Eric and Custom Electric Services."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

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.
