"Silvercon Electric has done several projects for our house. They installed electrical outlets outside for Christmas lights and a conversion panel for a generator. They always arrive on time and thoroughly explain the project and how long it will take to complete. Their prices are extremely reasonable and the work areas are lcleaned once co.oleted. Do not hesitate to hire Silvercon in a world of unreliable contractors Silvercon shines above the rest by keeping their word and commitment to excellence."

"I hired Richard and his crew to install a generator for my daughters new home. I was very impressed with the workers they sent to my home, probably the friendliest contractors I've ever met. They completed the entire install in two days. I would definitely recommend Albright. Thanks guys!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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

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. 

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.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home.
