Customers say: Quick response

"Anthony was very attentive to my project on an old building. He sought out a safe and viable solution to change out an old fuse box and relocate with a new breaker box. He was quick with a response to my request, inspection and quickly gave a solution with a quote. Once I accepted, he scheduled my work right away. He was also prompt on the day of installation and did the work professionally and quickly. I recommend A & A Electric and I would even recommend Anthony to my family and friends. - Pastor Jeff"

"Mike who I met from Reliable Power Systems (RPS), is professional and personable and went out of his way to treat me and my particular situation well.  Probably due to price and quality, which is why a co-worker recommended him, he is popular and therefore busy so that  maintenance visits are not usually available immediately.  However for the repair I needed during an outage, he was at my place very fast.  My generator's 'fail-to-start' happened before I bought the maintenance plan from RPS.  I figured I could do it myself, but it is not a small car engine in a box like I thought.  And now that we have medical equipment connected we need to make sure it is up and running 24x7.  Saving one fridge and freezer of food in a black out was sufficient payback for installing a generator, but keeping an oxygen pump running is critical, as is, I found, the piece of mind I get by going to sleep knowing my generator will start  everytime I need it, thanks to a proper maintenance plan.  Before I signed the maintenance contract, I did shop around some, and found that RPS adds things into their maintenance that others do not.  I asked Mike about it and he explained it to me very well, but I just can't remember the technical details.  I also found out that RPS is not as big as some companies, but to me this means I'm not getting some partly trained kid who is just rushing from job to job as fast as possible. From watching Mike work I can see that he is not only extremely knowledgeable (he mentioned something about certifications), but that he is methodical and thorough.  Those last two words describe RPS well.  And that's what I want in generator service while our life depends on it.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.
