Bob's Electric has over 38 years of experience. I am licensed in Arizona and bring the same expertise as I have all along. I offer extremely fair pricing and unparalled service. Majority of the work, I do by myself. I am insistent upon being the one who does all of the final electrical connections on any and all work performed by Bob's Electric. This allows me the opportunity to keep all of the work done at the highest level of quality possible. I take careful assessment of all the bidding that is performed in order to give the best possible price without compromising the quality of the work being performed. If you're looking for a contractor that will give you the quality you expect, I ask that you consider Bob's Electric. Specializing in smaller jobs, the ones that others do not want to do. But also more than happy to take on big jobs as well.

"Fixed the problem. Very knowledgeable and efficient!"

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. 

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

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.

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.
