"The professionalism of Josh, the project manager and all of the workers was top notch: they were competent, experienced and explained each phase of the electrical project. We now have a new load center installed, as well as a generator interlock system. All of the work was completed in one day, as promised. Josh made sure that my husband and I were fully informed about how to connect our new generator."

"Kenny arrived at my home to install a light switch and back patio light that was non existent at the time. Kenny was on time and very professional. I had purchased a patio light before the installation and had to return to work and left Kenny to do his work. Kenny called me and told me that the light I purchased did not have the brackets that it should have had. Kenny took my light back to Lowes and brought back a new one and installed my light. I arrived home to my new light and switch and he cleaned up the area as if no one was even there. I will use Bruton electric again! Great Job!"

"He came promptly and charged me a price that was more than fair to drive out to my home and fix my portable generator. He even took into consideration that we were without power and needed the job done quickly."

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. 

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.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.
