"I am very happy with the way the job was performed. Jamie and Jake had to trench about 100 feet from my home to my workshop, and then install 4-5 outlets and exterior sensor lighting. My yard is on a hill, so it wasn't a simple thing to trench and run the line, but they made it seem like it was easy. There were no problems, no unexpected new charges, and the job took 1-1/2 days. I will definitely use their services again."
A win for the owners of this panel change.
Ready to label and get inspected
This is guaranteed to provide adequate electric needed to provide heating and cooling on demand.
Panels are installed and look great.
Without yearly inspections of your electrical services in your home this could happen to you. This is the panel that failed and we upgraded.

"Cincinnati’s Everlasting Electric did an excellent job. They installed a new 400 amp service from the street and added some 220 volt lines for a car charger and cooktop. They were polite, did everything on time, cleaned up, and were very courteous. The inspection passed and the inspector told me that he never finds any problems with their work. I highly recommend them."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

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. 

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.
