"I cannot recommend RYB Electric LLC and Sebastian highly enough! We hired them for several electrical upgrades, including: 1. A full electrical panel upgrade 2, Installation of a Level 2 EV charger, and 3. Installation of ground rods for extra protection Beyond his technical expertise, Sebastian is a pleasure to work with. He is incredibly easy to talk to, has a great personality, and took the time to answer all my questions without making things feel overly complicated. It’s rare to find someone who is both a master of their craft and so personable. The workmanship is top-tier—everything is neatly installed, labeled, and functioning perfectly. If you are looking for a reliable, skilled, and fairly priced electrician who truly cares about the quality of his work, look no further than Sebastian. We couldn't be happier!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

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

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.
