"The gentlemen who came to my house were very friendly and professional. I originally hired them to determine why I couldn't get my outdoor deck light to work. The original fixture just stopped working. I installed two other fixtures and neither of them worked either. For some insane reason, when I had them install a fourth fixture, it worked perfectly and it only took them a few minutes. So, they asked if I needed anything else done as I was going to be charged a trip charge for an hour's worth of service anyway. So, I had them change out a switch for an outlet for no extra charge. Unfortunately, I couldn't come up with anything else for them to do at the time but they were more than willing to work for the full hour at no extra charge. Highly unusual but much appreciated."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

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.
