"5++++Rj Mazzucca is amazing. Awesome salesman, awesome craftsmanship, went above and beyond. Was happy how quickly someone got out here to look at. Within hours of me calling and by the next day installed. I know I could have got a cheaper price, but was afraid it would not have been done in a timely manner. This is a 1979 mobile home and everything is old and turns into a project when replacing things. Rj did an excellent job."

"Extremely well. Although the generator was installed some time ago by Doug, a new problem arose with the central air conditioning when the electric power went out and the generator needed to run. Doug spoke with the company servicing the generator and the air conditioning to find a solution and fixed the problem. At my request, he communicated long distance with my son (an engineer), to explain what was happening, as I had little knowledge of the problem and solution. Doug spent considerable time and triple checked that the solution was working before he finished. As always, Doug was extremely caring and efficient."

Generator Install FAQs, 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.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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. 

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
