"Mr. Muhammad and all of the workers of the install were professional and knowledgeable. They answered all questions and concerns courteously and were patient as they explained use and maintenance of the generator. When a problem arose, Mr. Muhammad addressed it satisfactorily within a reasonable time period.

I’m a licensed electrician who takes pride in doing honest, reliable work. I handle everything from small repairs and troubleshooting to lighting installs, panel upgrades, and general electrical maintenance. I pay attention to the details, make safety a priority, and treat every home or job site with respect.\n\nI’m currently looking to pick up any side jobs I can—no job is too small. Whether you need a ceiling fan installed, outlets fixed, breakers replaced, or help figuring out an electrical issue, I’m ready to help. I believe in fair pricing, clear communication, and getting the job done right the first time.\n\nIf you need dependable electrical work, I’d appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.\n

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home.
