"Highly recommend!! In 16 years, we have never had a need for a generator. We were told we were on the hospital grid. Well, apparently, those grids change. Over the last year, we have had too many electrical problems with long outages leading us to come to the decision that it would be prudent for us to buy a generator. After doing the research and seeing all the details involved with ordering, preparation, installation, etc, we decided there are too many important details and decided to look for someone to do everything for us. It's incredibly important to know that we came to this decision in December, 2020 (height of generator demand), during a pandemic and during a time of an extreme nationwide generator shortage. While researching, we saw so many people waiting months for a generator from other companies, trying to do everything themselves, waiting for the transfer switch, then an electrician and so on. We figured we would be lucky to have it for next winter. We met with Matt Sanford, he went over everything in detail, looked at the potential sites for the generator and the propane tanks, measured, etc. He could have sold us a bigger generator, but he thought it would be a waste for us to spend extra money on a specific generator I "assumed" we needed. Matt determined the size needed, made recommendations and we, happily, gave him a down payment check. He said 4-6 weeks. I still had my doubts, but here I am writing a review 4 weeks later, because the installation is complete. It is a two-day process. The workers who installed it showed up shortly before the expected time with masks on, were clear and concise, informative, professional and were very courteous of their surroundings including inside the house. In all honesty, I was floored with their demeanor. They completely took me by surprise and it was well above my expectations. When they called to book the installation, I was told the electricity "could be" out for several hours. We planned for several hours. When they arrived, they said it would be an hour or two. It was out for 15 minutes. They do as much as they can in advance so the power is out for as little time as possible, but there can be issues. DO NOT plan that your power would be out for that short period of time. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. The next person, who installs the gas portion, arrived bright and early the next day. He was just as nice, informative and professional as the workers the day before. The communication from the company is stellar. The people they have working for them are fantastic. I cannot say enough good about our entire experience. You WILL NOT be disappointed. By the way, here's something I didn't even know existed until Matt told me about it. Ask about the house surge protector. Even my insurance company had never heard of it. I wish I had known about it when it came out. Also, based on the work involved with the generator, it is comforting to know we are paying them for maintenance, monitoring, etc. In my opinion, this is a complicated machine to install and maintain. They see everything our generator is doing and if something is not right, they'll send someone out before we even know something is "not right". You don't want to be caught in a major outage and have a failing system. You go through the big expense of buying it and installing it, make sure it's taken care of on a regular basis by a professional just like your car, home heating system, etc. I highly recommend this company."

"I used Peak Power to install the electric for an above ground pool we had installed. Adam with Peak was incredibly helpful and responsive. My pool installers had many delays and ultimately finished the pool almost a month after the initial planned install. Adam/Peak were responsive to the ever shifting timeline and made it out within a few days of the completed pool install and almost a month after the plan. The scope of the project increased a little based after the final install and the Peak team was up front, honest and fair about the additional work and materials required. I would highly recommend Peak for all your electric needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.
