"I chose Optimize because of the positive feedback and strong recommendations I read in the reviews. I was not disappointed! Matthew, Craig and his work crew could not have been more professional and responsive. They did a great job on the installation of my stand-by generator and the price was very reasonable. I am strongly recommending Optimize to any of my friends or family that need any of the services they provide."

"This work was beyond my expectations in every category. The owner, Brandon, is a really nice guy that gave us a fair and competitive quote and supervised all the work, which was done by a number of specially qualified teams: a concrete pad team, a custom built aluminum welded stand fabrication team, an electrical team, a gas team, and a generator operation and maintenance team. All of the teams were professional, courteous, and highly skilled. Come to find out we live in a historical tree protection zone, so, in addition to lining up gas and electrical permits, Brandon had to hire a licensed tree arborist to conduct a survey and obtain a tree permit, all of which Brandon did for no additional charge. If you ever want an automatic full home generator to keep the lights on during the next hurricane outage, these are definitely the guys to call."

"Jason recently installed a Generac generator for our home. As a licensed electrician, Jason showed great knowledge of residential electrical issues and is very knowledgeable of the Generac product. He took the time to answer any and all of our questions. The installation work was done very neatly and with great care and attention to detail. We found Jason to be honest and focused on customer satisfaction. We consulted with several generator installers before choosing Goldstar. We highly recommend Goldstar for generator installation as well as any residential electrical issues."

"Bo did an excellent upgrading my panel in order to install a Generac whole home generator - which he also installed. I am very happy with the work he did and the fair price. Bo actually went above the "call of duty" on several issues. I would definitely recommend him."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

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.

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.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency.
