Small jobs welcome

"RJC is the only electricians that we use as he has done multiple jobs at our home and business with safety first, quality work ! Weâ ve called them in emergency conditions gave us instructions for our safety and arrived within an hour. Weâ ve had major problems with massive floods X 4 in our 18 yrs of current home, all utilities are in basement so extensive electrical work furnace, panel, well pump, bladder, hot water tank, new wiring etc.. Installed new wiring for appliances, lighting, pool and many updates including 2nd panel. I lost a 2 mobile homes to fire and deemed to be electrical so I was very fearful ! I have not been since RJC has been a blessing as he physically shows and fully explains the importance of whatâ s needed and why and what the plan is. We have complete trust and confidence as RJC Electric that we and our home /property is safe ! Heâ s the best all around for 18+ years for us."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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. 

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.
