"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"Carlo was great! His workmanship is professional and he was very patient and attentive to our wants. He installed pot lights in our living room that had no attic access. We had issues with vents and plumbing in the ceiling but we didn t want our drywall destroyed with channel holes so after thinking through all our limited options we came up with a perfect solution that Carlo was able to implement without having to cut open our ceiling. He was great!"

"We recently had Priority Electric Solutions complete a panel upgrade at our home, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The electricians were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly before beginning the work. The installation was clean, organized, and completed on schedule. They made sure everything was up to code, answered all of our questions, and left the work area spotless when they were finished. It’s hard to find contractors who truly care about quality and customer service, but Priority Electric Solutions exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a reliable electrician, I highly recommend Priority Electric Solutions. Excellent service and workmanship!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

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. 

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.
