"On the recommendation of the generator seller, I hired Mr. Ott to handle the electrical portion of a whole-house generator installation. It was a great experience every step of the way. The morning after the generator was delivered, Mr. Ott visited to view the installation site, take photos, and get the permit process moving. When the permit was available, he called to set up an installation appointment date, telling me to expect the power to go out that morning for the whole day. Sure enough, the power company arrived as scheduled to disable the power; Mr. Ott was here within a few minutes to install the new panel, aided by his son. Within a few hours, the panel was installed. He found that the original electrical installation was not performed according to today's best practices and made some improvements. When he was finished, the new panel was on the outside wall (he even lowered the meter to keep the new panel from being too high) and all cabling from the generator to the panel was buried. He contacted the power company to restore electricity; total outage time was slightly over 5 hours instead of a full day. After this experience, I would hire James Ott to handle any electrical maintenance problems or enhancements in my home. He and his son are capable and personable. What's not to like?"

"I couldn't be happier with the service I received. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and professional. Technician arrived on time, diagnosed the issue, and explained everything in simple terms. No upselling, just honest and want everyone to be safe. They had all the necessary parts on hand and got the generator back up and running quickly. Extremely detailed orientation, even went the extra mile and cleaned up the generator to where it looked new. If you're looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy team to service your generator, I highly recommend them without hesitation! Let me also mention, it's a father son business and it's special to see how important it is to the father for his son to succeed."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

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.
