"Bottom line up front, I was beyond impressed with the work done by Cash Electric. I have a rental property with some electrical gremlins I could not get figured out. After too long, I broke down and looked for an electrician. I was dreading it both mentally and financially. However, from the first interaction through the troubleshooting and to the end of the job I was impressed. Kayleb laid out a straightforward plan for figuring out my problems and made sure I knew what to expect. His crew was able to determine the cause of my issues and give me a prognosis by the end of the day. Kayleb sent over an estimate really quick and was able to get back over to fix my issues within a couple of days. In this economy, and with so many poorly run trade businesses out there, it was a true breath of fresh air to hire Cash Electric. If you have electrical issues, don't like messing with outlet installations or need a generator setup Kayleb and his crew are the only ones you should be looking for."

"Apex installed a Whole Farm generator for my horse farm. They were very professional when they came to determine the size generator I needed and the quote was quite reasonable. The installation and hook up was completed in a timely manner. I now have peace of mind knowing that in the event of a power outage I can still provide excellent care to my horses. I will certainly be contacting Apex for my future electrical projects."

Terry was great to work with and took the time to make sure everything was to my liking and was very capable of the work he performed. I would highly recommend this professional if you are looking for electrical work that has to be done right."

"I spoke to this company over the phone that told them that I was looking for somebody to trace my household telephone lines. I have a short somewhere and I would like to find somebody that could find it and rewire the telephone system to bypass the short. This company does do that type of work and didn't know of anybody that did."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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. 

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.
