Customers say: Quick response

"Tony was great about strategizing the different issues we had with some of our electrical systems. He brought the supplies he needed, worked the problem so that he could tell me if then wiring was good or if the issues where coming from something else. He also helped make a plan moving forward what we could do if the problem wasnâ t resolved. He has a keen eye for finish work and fixed the botched job from the previous remodel. He stays focused on the work and ensures he doesnâ t overcharge or waste the customers time or money. Iâ d have him back in a heartbeat- great work!"

"I can't thank Ryan enough for coming out to my in-laws home today. Finding a Service Electician in the Flathead Valley is almost impossible. We called at least 8 places and nobody could come out. Some said it would be a couple months. Ryan made time at the end of his workday to stop by on the way home to help us. He fixed our problem, and we were good to go in 30 minutes. I can't thank Ryan enough for going out of his way for us. The Valley needs more Service Electricians like this."

Generator Install questions, 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.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

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.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.
