"David G. With The Happy Outlet worked ob a number of electrical problems, repairs, installations and upgrades we had been wanting for almost a year. He worked diligently using his expertise to provide an estimate for each request initially, then beginning to complete each item one after the other professionally. He was friendly and helpful and did not complain about the surrounding chaos . We are in the middle of remodeling the kitchen, replacing the downstairs flooring and remodeling the master bathroom to accomadate handicapped access. Each project was in the throws of demolituon. We also have large dogs who wereantsy with everythung going on around them. Undaunted and calm he met each challenge efficiently without complaint. He is welcome in our house anytime and hopefully will be our swrviceman miving forward for any future electrical needs."

"Jason with Battle Born Electric installed under-cabinet lighting in my kitchen and dimmers on all the many overhead lights in my kitchen and living room. The under-cabinet lighting is also dimmable and, in addition to being practical, really accents that area. Jason was professional, easy to work with and very reasonable in pricing. I am very pleased with the work done by Jason and recommend Battle Birn Electric."

"They showed up on time and did a great job. I made a last-minute change where the charger should be installed, and it was a little further away and harder to get to, but Jacob and his team got right on it made the necessary adjustments and got my charger plug in installed and it looks great. Jacob even took a look at an outlet in my bathroom and quickly fixed that on the way out. The work was top notch at a fair price. I will hire Trouble Shooting Electrical for any future needs I may have."

"Our technician was early and ready to work when he arrived! He found the source of the problem with our outlet quickly and then was willing to work on another electrical problem in our garage. Unfortunately, that one was complicated and we elected not to pursue a solution at that time (it involved cutting open the garage ceiling to see where the wiring was messed up.) We would definitely hire this company again for electrical work. Great attitude, pleasant and got to the source of the problem quickly."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

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.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

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.
