Commercial / Residential Electrical Contractor, Factory Authorized Generac Power Systems Sales & Service Select Dealer / Installer, Warranty Provider. Free On-site Estimates! 24-HR Emergency Response. Knowledgeable, Dependable, Professional Service Guarantee!

"It took over 4 months to get it installed and then installation took 5 days, instead of two. All seemed to go well, and it did work when we needed it. Two weeks ago, I tried to turn on the gas fire. No gas. Called Clif but he was too busy to come out, so I called another company, who sent someone today. He discovered the the valve had been taped closed, so the fireplace would have been useless. I was never told of this. Then this service man said the gas line was not installed properly - but we could live with it, but there were no pressure gauges for gas appliances, and that would have to be disclosed if we sold the house. He installed those. I am now $900 poorer. In addition, the wiring that was done is not according to code for the second electrical panel and will have to be redone. That will be even more. Very scary."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

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.

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.
