"Working with Smith Power Group, Inc. was a very rewarding and mutually beneficial experience. The owner, Carlton, sat with us and explained the entire process and answered all of our questions. The office kept us informed concerning the necessary paperwork, permits, etc. On the day of installation the crew arrived on time and proceeded to install our generator without issues. We highly recommend SPG."

"I was so impressed. I had excellent service. I had my entrance cable (I think that is what it is called) and they installed a new fuse box. I lived in my house for 31 years and I have no idea how old my fuse box was but I was pulling 70 that how old it was not to mention it must have been a back yard electrician that put it in They did a great job at a great price. Thank You George Sparks Electric. I am very grateful for you service."

"We received excellent service from NILES HULL, who performed a pipe repair for a hose attachment in our driveway. The job was $533, and was done well, with pleasant, knowledgeable service. I highly recommend Harris as we've used them for many plumbing and electric projects in recent years. NILES HULL was knowledgeable, caring, and attentive to detail. They stand behind their work.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
