Customers say: True professional

"Sean did a good job and worked efficiently. He was able to do all the tasks we requested. I'm satisfied with his work. He did our job on a Saturday and I was very happy he went out of his way to work us into the schedule. I would hire him again, no question. The only disappointment was that he didn't clean up afterward as well as I thought would be done. For example, where metal siding had to be cut to install new fixtures, there were still pieces of the sharp metal lying around (larger than an inch square)."

"Brandon was great. I called him, he was available, and my job was finished three hours later. He communicated well, gave me a clear estimate, and showed up exactly when he said he would. He had to dig a trench in my flower bed mulch to bury a wire, and he put all the mulch back carefully- you couldnâ t even see anything had been done. I will use him in the future whenever I need an electrician."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

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.

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.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.
