"The team from Mormat were quick to setup and get started on the job.  It was a cold day to be replacing the door so I was happy to see that they took the time to get as much of the prep work ready as they could before they began to take the existing door down.  Once they got started they let us know what they would be doing, and they began the tear down.  There was a lot of rotting wood around the old frame, and the walls were a mixture of the dry wall and weather worn cinder blocks.  Everything was a mess, but kept the debris to a minimum which was great since we had to pass by the area several times while they worked to do chores while they worked.  Overall the finished install was amazing for the door and I'm pretty sure it's the sturdiest structure in the house.
The electrical panel in my home was outdated and needed to be replaced as well which they assisted with.  When we moved in we found that not only did the panel need to be replaced but we weren't quite sure what breaker went where.  The team from Mormat took the time to not only replace the panel, but also to make sure I knew where everything went.  I now have a clearly labeled panel, which makes things so much easier whenever I need to do work that I feel comfortable doing, safely.
I have had the experience to use their services for the company I work for, and it was great to see that the professionalism and detail they bring to an office space they also offer to their residential jobs.  Given the broad range of skills I have seen their team employ, there will be no doubt that I will continue to use their services for any of my major projects in my new home."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.
