"A wonderful experience for a complicated project! I would use Green Sun Energy again for any service they provide. They made the generator install as easy and painless as possible. 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!"

"Did all we needed quickly and in one day. Friendly, enjoyed having him in my house. Very reasonable price, really thought it would be much more. I had others working in my house while he was here and he worked very well around and with them. Great overall electrician."

"Hank's Electrical is a quality company. I have used him at least 4-5 times within the past 1-2 years and he never disappoints. 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

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. 

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. 

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

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.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.
