"After being ghosted by an electrician we had used before, friends recommended Kruger Electric. We were not disappointed. Kruger was responsive, from the moment we made our appointment through their confirmation and then letting us know Kevin was on his way, we never had to wonder whether someone was going to show up. Kevin assessed the services we requested, did a quick "examination" of the house, and then provided three options from which to choose. He was upfront about costs -- no hidden fees or surprises. Kevin did excellent work, quickly and thoroughly, and went above and beyond (with little things like swapping out a light bulb in the garage so we can actually see in there now). We are just beyond satisfied with the whole experience and would wholeheartedly endorse and recommend Kruger (and Kevin) to anyone."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.
