Glory Electric is your full service electrical contractor. Whether it's a panel upgrade or custom lighting project - Randy's quality work and customer service is unmatched. Call him today!

"Hired to install electric for a pool. His estimate was higher than others. I had used him to replace exterior light bulbs in the past and thought I could trust him to perform quality work. Terrible work. Installed an old beat up discolored post to put exterior outlet on. The outlet had screws barely in the wood on one side. He was provided with the county rules and still placed the post too close to the pool. He used the cheapest, poor quality material possible, cut through my drainage pipes next to my house without even asking if he could, and left without finishing the job. I had to hire another company to finish the job and fix what he messed up. Home owners beware. If it is anything beyond replacing light bulbs, I would not hire him."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
