Prior to branching out on my own, I spent four years working under a master electrician installing Tesla Powerwalls (Batteries), EV chargers, Outlets, New Circuits, and Solar Arrays. I owe everything to my mentors. I was taught to never cut corners, respect the customer’s wishes, and treat every install like a masterpiece. My primary areas of expertise are EV charger installs and dedicated circuit installs (hot tub outlets, generator outlets, freezer outlets, etc.)

"Superior job with full satisfaction done on time and on budget, thanks to Hayden!😊 If electrical work is needed this is your best opportunity for complete satisfaction!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

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.
