"The electricians from Storm Electric did an excellent job installing a manual transfer switch for my portable generator. They were punctual, professional in their workmanship and very willing to take the time to answer any questions I had. I would recommend Storm to friends and would definitely use them again."

"

It went very well.  Due to some problems with kitchen appliances not working properly due to bad circuit breakers and knowing the electrical panel is about 30 years old, I thought it was time for the  panel to be replaced and possibly upgraded. 

Matt checked the panel, determined a complete panel replacement was not needed, only replacing all circuit breakers.  Some of the installed breakers were failing.

The work was done quickly and professionally.  Matt spent time as he worked telling me what he was doing and answered my many questions.

I especially appreciated his evaluation of our electrical power needs.  Based on our electric power usage now and in the future, he said we did not need to increase the amperage of the panel. 

Since the work was done, all kitchen appliances are now working properly.

"Great experience with Dr. Sparky Electrical Service. Angel was our electrician, and he was knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. He took the time to diagnose the issue and clearly explain what was causing the problem and what needed to be done to fix it. The service was reasonably priced, and I appreciated the communication throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Dr. Sparky and Angel for anyone needing electrical work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

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.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.
