"The work that was done at my home was high quality work. Part of my work was an arduous task. It took a lot of patience and effort to complete the task. Fred jr stuck with it until he was able to complete the job. He did an outstanding job. I give a four star rating instead of five due to the communication issues that I experienced with Fred sr at the beginning of the quote process. Fred sr and I talked that through and the communication was much better from then on. Overall, I would hire F & S Electric again to do work at my home."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Cincinnati homeowners should factor in neighborhood noise restrictions and possible HOA guidelines that affect generator placement. The region’s heavy clay soil may require additional drainage or foundation work to prevent shifting. Scheduling can be impacted by spring storms or icy winters, so plan installations during milder weather. Always coordinate with local utilities for safe connections and anticipate inspection timelines.

Helpful?

When hiring in Cincinnati, prioritize contractors with proven experience handling local emergency power needs and knowledge of soil drainage challenges. Verify they hold proper insurance and are familiar with city-specific permit requirements. Ask for recent local references and ensure they discuss generator maintenance options. Be wary of anyone requesting full payment upfront or avoiding questions about local code compliance.

Helpful?

In Cincinnati, homeowners often overlook setback rules, leading to generators installed too close to windows or neighboring properties. Failing to size the generator for both emergency power and future needs is another frequent issue. Many skip required inspections or underestimate the impact of heavy clay soil on the foundation, and some neglect to plan for safe fuel storage or proper ventilation in humid conditions.

Helpful?

For Cincinnati installations, choose enclosures with enhanced corrosion resistance to handle humidity, and use transfer switches rated for emergency power loads. Concrete pads should be designed for freeze-thaw cycles common in the area. Opt for wiring and connectors with moisture protection, and consider cold-weather battery kits to ensure reliable starts during winter. Always confirm materials meet Cincinnati’s local building standards.

Helpful?

Cincinnati’s variable weather means generator installations must account for frequent power outages from thunderstorms and ice storms. Cold snaps require generators with reliable cold-start features, while summer humidity can accelerate corrosion if enclosures aren’t properly sealed. Homes near the Ohio River may need elevated platforms to prevent flood damage, ensuring the generator remains operational during severe weather events.
