"Don was very pleasant to work with. He did forget to call me about when he would pick up the generator. But with the price and speed and workmanship made up for it."

"Westborn Electric did a fantastic job getting our family room ready for remodeling. They added four can lights, recommending LED, which I prefer anyway. They added two outlets and changed out all the old outlets which were the wrong color and getting very old. They also ran our cable and ethernet line to an outlet. There was a bit of a mixup in that we thought they would terminate the cable and ethernet line in an outlet, but a check of the work order showed that was not ordered. The lesson I learned was to always check the details of the work order. I would not mark them down for that. My wife and I were able to install the cable and ethernet outlet ourselves after the job was finished. Overall, we are very pleased and would recommend them."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
