"This company is top notch. They came on short notice and assessed and completed my request on the same day and was able to squeeze me in with a full schedule already. They installed a outlet in my closet. There was an issue with a fixture that was defective but they troubleshot it until they were absolutely positive it would need special parts from manufacturer. Right after they left, my wife was complaining about house being hot. Went to thermostat and it had no power. I tried everything I could but nothing worked. The only thing I could think of were since they had to go in the attic and the AC unit were in the attic that maybe they stepped on a wire or something. I called them back and they turned around with no hesitation. Turns out it was just a coincidence that a fuse went out in AC at the same time. They fixed it with it no additional charge and saved me from a very uncomfortable situation having been in the home for a few days and trying to get everything just how the wife wanted it. If you want through, quality work with a company that stands behind their work then look no where else."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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. 

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 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. 

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.
