"Nikolai and Kevin with Gavin have all worked on our home in the Hemingway area of Georgetown County. We have had the panels inside/outside replaced, an outlet replaced, range and microwave rewired, a home and AC surge protector installed, re-routing of outlets to separate circuits that were constantly being overloaded, they are coming out again this coming Thursday of June 2026 and we still have more in the future as we save our funds in preparation. All the electricians have been professional, polite and thorough. I had some detailed questions at one point since we are having so much done to our house and new garage and they have answered them without fail. I would not have anyone else do the work. Thank you to Nikolai, Kevin and Gavin (team), Bobbie and Robert."

"I purchased an Angie's List special for 2 hours of electrical work. Scott, and he was excellent! Worked quickly and carefully. Determined the issue, explained the problem, and made the repair and installed a bathroom light. So worth the deal, and I will happily contact them and Scott if we have need of an electrician going forward. Well done!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

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.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.
