"Bill walked me through checking the outlet and circuits. We solved the problem with no service call needed. Harland has been my electrician since the early 2000's. They have completed many projects/repairs small and large (full panel replacement after water damage to installing a exterior spotlight). Staff answering calls is pleasant and professional, Bill gets back to customers usually the same day."

"From the office folks to the electrician who did the work -- friendly and professional. They quoted the lowest price of three estimates and did the work within a couple of weeks. I purchased my generator elsewhere online... and VMA walked me thru the process of hooking it up, running it, and shutting it down. Very helpful."

"They did great work on a tight schedule. We were leaving on a trip and they completely installed a new boiler in a few days to prevent our pipes from bursting while we were away. Customer service was great and the price was competitive."

"Michael came to my house and upgraded my 100 amp panel to a 200 amp panel for my solar installation project I had coming up. He was very thorough in explaining all the work that needed to be done, how long I would be without power, and was very knowledgeable in all of the questions I had. After removing my service and replacing it with the new 200 amp, he went through the entire house and checked what each breaker was wired to and marked it inside my panel very neat and organized. Couldn’t be happier with the experience from start to finish. If you need any work done to your home I highly recommend Mike and I will definitely be contacting him in the future if I ever need any other work done. Thanks Mike!!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

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.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.
