"Daniel from Imperial Electric did an excellent job for us. We had a relatively small issue that he rectified for us very quickly and then did a very thorough inspection of our entire house at our request. He made a number of recommendations to upgrade our old electrical system that were practical, reasonable and in line with current codes."

"Ariel installed 50 amp inlet to my breaker box for portable generator. He completely cleaned up the breaker box. Separated rooms to different breakers so I can turn off rooms i don't use. He was extremely thorough in his work. Upon finishing installation, Ariel stayed on his own time and explained everything i needed to know about using generator and which breakers to use if i have a power outage. He was very knowledgeable and made sure i understood before he would leave. I highly recommend ACG based on my experience with his work ethic. Thank you Ariel!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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