"Kevin exceeded my expectations with my project. I was struggling to find a knowledgeable and timely business to get my (somewhat complex) whole home, interior/exterior audio video setup back up and running. Not only did he know of virtually every brand and component I had in my setup, he was able to complete the project in a few hours! I was totally not expecting him to first of all know all my components consisting of Key Digital matrix, baluns, Russound, MyHarmony, etc.. but to knock it out effortlessly was absolutely mind-blowing to me! I was so pleased with him, I even talked about some potential improvements I could make to our setup to make it even better. I plan to bring him back for future work!"

"Worst company that I have ever worked it. In my experience, plain dishonest. They have not only made a terrible job on my furnace installation (which replacement need was questionable - my mistake of agreeing to it), they also damaged my perfectly working AC. Now, they are giving me the run around for 4 months to refund the AC damage. I've been calling multiple time per week and also went in person to their office. Before wasting your hard-earned money, pay them a visit at 9609 Girard Ave S, Bloomington, MN 55431 and get inside the office, then make your decision."

I would hire this company 100 times over! The service from start to finish was top notch! The gentleman, Ray, that we worked with was so honest, even telling us where we could save money and provided ideas. We had him do our entire house with recessed lighting, put new lighting in bathrooms, add outlets to our entire unfinished basement, the list goes on. He was so respectful and scheduled times were met, and were invoiced the same as what we were quoted - no surprises. On top of his professionalism, the work he did was outstanding to say the least! Thank you Rayco for the outstanding service from start to finish and for making everything we wanted happen beautifully."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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. 

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.
