"Very pleased with this contractor and the cost and quality of their work. Upgraded my panel to 200 Amp service, split an overloaded circuit, and ran a line set for an HVAC project. Max and his team are real pros. The cost estimate was fair and accurate. After initial review of the project, we made a few changes on job day, and these were accomplished with zero problems. Their coordination with the electric co-op was also flawless and the job was accomplished on time and within the cost estimate. They even gave me a $100 credit for the removed 100 Amp panel. I plan to hire them again to wire an existing out building on my property. If you need electrical work, call them!"

"Chris was professional and polite. He completed the work quickly and without any mess. He installed multiple outlet boxes in my finished basement and ran underground wiring from my basement main breaker box to my workshop. In the workshop he installed a new breaker box, 2 outlet boxes, an outside outlet, and a LED light fixture with matching wall-switch."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

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. 

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
