"Frank responded quickly to my inquiry and provided an estimate. We agreed the work would be done within a month. Frank arrived on the agreed upon installation date on time, worked efficiently, kept me apprised of his progress. He arranged for all required inspections and coordinated work with Duke Energy employees. I would definitely hire Frank for any electrical work and recommend him highly."

"Through this site I was looking for a licensed electrician for an RV outlet and generator inlet install. In less than 1 week, we had a visit, quote including alternative ideas that save on additional materials, and full professional installation. The work was completed very thoroughly and clean, the instructions clear, and the price was reasonable. Overall I will hire 34 North in a ❤️ beat again. Not many skilled contractors with this service commitment level are left."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

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.
