"I'm very satisfied with his work. I had used him for 16 years and I had him install two different generators. I never had any problems at all and he is very responsive; that is why I have recommended him before."

"Fabian (the electrician) was an absolute professional. I let him know what I needed and he provided me with several options on how to get the task completed within code. He provided me with a specific timetable, which was great for me because it allowed me to work around my work schedule. Once the job was finished, it was as if he was never there. Everything was cleaned up and put back the way it was when he initially arrived. Highly, highly recommended!!!"

"Robert took the time to explain why power to our garage was out. Wiring was outdated and underground piping rusted out causing problems with other rooms. Project took time but work was top notch. Communication was very good. Price quoted was what we paid. Excellent work. Passed inspection. He will be our go to electrician from now on."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
