I specialize in new construction, repairs, service, and general handyman solutions with an emphasis on quality and transparency. I am an honest, hardworking Christian veteran with over a decade in the electrical trade. My honesty and integrity set me apart from other contractors. I'll be the first to tell you that the problem is a very easy fix and the cost will be minimal. My goal is to empower people with basic knowledge of electrical work with a goal to prevent residents from being taken advantage of by other contractors that prey on fear of electricity. Starting my own business and helping others has always been a goal of mine. Finally getting licensed and insured to perform electrical work is a dream come true.

"Matt is great. We discussed the services I wanted and he was able to send me details and pictures of the supplies I needed to get for the work. He even made a trip over to Lowe’s for an item I forgot to purchase. He is professional and efficient with his work. I have already recommended him to my local friends, and I will be in touch for future home services."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.
