Customers say: Quality work

"Capelle Electric installed 3 ceiling fans/light fixtures for us. They are easy to work with, answered all questions we had, and finished the job in a timely manner. They cleaned up after themselves so I didnâ t have to. Keith Capelle and his partner were professional in every way. I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to others."

"They did an excellent job installing a new 240V outlet in my garage! We were able to easily schedule an appointment. They arrived to my house on time. As they were working they were extremely friendly and communicated proficiently. Once the project was finished everything looked great and the outlet works just fine. I would highly recommend for anyone needing a local electrician."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

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. 

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

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.
