"10 yr old Generac GP6500E wouldn’t start. Called around and many want to upsell to permanent. Found Franks and what a delight. Honest, down to earth, affordable for senior. Showed up on time. Changed oil, spark plug. Pulled carburetor and found it dirty and fouled. Got used one from his shop(same day) and installed. Gen started right up on one or two pulls. Battery was dead but showed us how to replace. Highly recommend Frank’s Generator."

"True pros. here. Dan was my technician. In my opinion,this kid worked and acted way beyond his age. His partner was very good too. Sorry, I forgot his name. I've used them for another small install after the panel upgrade as requested Dan. He completed the job efficiently and neatly. Thank Dan and the office staff at RPC Electric."

"Hired HomePro Electric to install a transfer switch for a portable generator. Erik did a great job. Showed up on time. Did an excellent job and explained how to switch our electric panel from the grid to the generator really clearly. I will definitely hire him again for any future electrical work that I need."

"I hired Kyle to install the electric for my pool. He grounded the pool, installed an electrical timer for the pool pump, breakers for the circuits, and installed an outlet. I liked the quality of the work so much that I hired him to replace a GFCI outlet in my kitchen and an exterior outlet on my house and then hired him once more to install light fixtures. His prices are fair and his finished product is meticulous. If he tells you that you need something replaced/repaired he is not saying it to make money, he is saying it because the repair/replacement is necessary for safety or code purposes. I would hire Kyle again for any of my electrical repairs/installations."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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.
