"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

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

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. 

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.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.
