"DO NOT HIRE GUNLOCK, specifically do not hire Caleb Gunlock. If possible, to give a lower rating, I would. There is a reason why They are rated so low with only a handful of ratings and only 1 being positive. They were paid to install and hook up an outdoor wood boiler. They came out and claimed to know what they were doing. Signed off on work. Now I am stuck with a outdoor wood boiler system that does not work. It does not heat either the shop or house. The OWB is working perfectly. They did not bleed the system. They fired up the system without checking their pipes. So my pumps ran dry for several hours due to their negligence Just not the parts they were hired to hook up and install. And to make it better my original heat that was working first is now not working. So, I am stuck with no heat with a wife and 2 under 5 kids. They agreed to complete work. Said they completed the work. Which they did not. When I approached them about making it correct Caleb told me to " MAKE MY DAY" This is the worst company I have ever hired. They said that all parts are included when they bid the job. Then tried to make me pay for adapters and argued about that. Caleb Gunlock is a spineless coward. Called me a liar to my face, and when confronted stumbled over his own words. Would not honor the agreement that was listed out on the invoice. caleb gunlock WILL NOT BE A MAN OF HIS WORD AND STAND BEHIND IT!!!! I now need to hire another company to fix what they messed up. I highly suggest someone else that has a better knowledge of how to properly do the work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts
As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.
Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.
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.
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.
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.
Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup.
