"After spending almost 13 thousand dollars 2 months ago for installation of cummins home generator-it would not shut off after a normal automatic test. I called the company and they said shut off the gas. This was April 12. The said it would be May before a tech co u l check it out. So what do you think- you pay 13 grand to prote c t you from power outages but when it is faulty you are at the mercy of what appears to be a lack of technicians and VERY poor service.

My Electric Works is Columbus Ohio's premier electrical service repair provider. We are NOT a franchise and pride ourselves on being founded here in Columbus. Locally owned and family operated, My Electric Works is your one stop Electrical Service repair shop!

"Overall we had a negative experience with My Electric Works. It started in Nov of 2021 when they replaced our box, we thought everything was all set but when we went to have our furnace replaced by another company they mentioned we did not have permits for our electric box. We reviewed the invoice for th work done by My Electric works on the box and noticed we paid for permits but never received. So in April of 2022 we called back, they then came out to label box which also was never done and found wires that had not been grounded properly in Nov 2021 so fixed that as well. Finally after 5 months we got the permits we had paid for originally. Then we had an issue with our living room light switch while replacing the switch where it had stopped working. We decided to give them another chance and called to have them come out to look at it. On the phone call to set up the service visit there was no mention of a diagnostics fee or an increase to the diagnostics fee. Once the technician arrived, he told us that just for diagnostics it would be $250 charge which was over a 100% increase from the fee we had paid 5 months ago. As he was already at the house we agreed since we thought the issue would be resolved. When he told us he would not be able to fix the switch without tearing out the drywall on our entire living room ceiling (which we do not want to do) he left with nothing better then when he arrived. So we had paid $250 for nothing to be fixed. When I called to complain about this exorbitant fee and ask why we had not been made aware of it during the scheduling call and to understand why it had increased so much we were told sorry this is the way it is. Very unhappy with my experience and with their customer service."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home
