The crew was kind and efficient. Lots to do for an install such as this but they did it quickly, efficiently and were extremely organized. Just how I like it! Thank you so much!! We feel protected for whatever comes our way."

"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!"

He has done a number of jobs at my house including outlet installation, landscape lighting and generator installation. Extremely responsive and aims to please. He takes pride in his work and is very efficient, tidy and will give you a fair and honest estimate. Would feel very comfortable referring him to family and friends who need any electrical work."

"I have used Pipe Works on numerous occasions as of this date and find them to provide excellent service at competitive prices. Their associates are great to work with and their prices are competitive. The work is always completed on time, as promised and the work area is left clean. I appreciate that they point out things that need repair in the not so distant future. It was great to wake up the other day with power coming from my new Kohler Generator"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two.
