"Great to work with from the initial quote to the final part of the installation of our generator. Arrived on time and finished ahead of time. They provided good insight into the workings of a generator and good ideas as to placement, size, etc. This was simply a great experience and I would highly recommend Southern Accents for any electrical needs."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

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.

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.
