"Cole was very professional, installed a kitchen ceiling fan, a bathroom fixture, high hats in the living room, and installed 2 outlets and moved my plate for my landline. He cleaned up and there was nothing for me to do after he left except admire his work."

"He made room in my electrical panel by installing double circuit-breakers to accommodate my home. Based on the work and how they presented themselves, I would recommend them. Very clean and professional, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Their price was reasonable, the work was great, and it was an overall pleasant experience."

"They were extremely honest, courteous, need and fair. We had them install all of the electric for my pool equipment, lights etc. and run electric to the dock for boat power. They were so good, we had them come back and re run all the electrical in the downstairs of our house including new outlets, lights etc. we also had them upgrade our panel to a 200 amp. I can not say enough about how clean and easy they were to work withâ ¦.I would recommend them 100%!"

"i recently had a tesla charger installed, and i am extremely satisfied with the service. the electrician did an outstanding job he was professional, knowledgeable, and completed the installation much faster than i expected while maintaining excellent quality. the work was clean, efficient, and everything was installed perfectly. on top of that, his pricing was very reasonable compared to other estimates i received. it’s not often you find someone who delivers great workmanship, works efficiently, and offers affordable rates. i highly recommend him to anyone needing electrical work or an ev charger installation."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

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.
