Ag-Pro Power Division specializes in the sale, service and installation of Generac home automated standby generator systems. We provide preventative maintenance programs for residential generators regardless of where you purchased the unit and also sell portable generators made by Generac. Our products can be purchased at any of Ag-Pro's locations in Ohio & Kentucky.

"We had purchased a home that include a 13.5kw Generac whole house standby generator that was not actually installed but just sitting behind the house unused. I contacted JD Power Systems to see if they could test and verify that the generator worked and if so then hook it up. They sent out a technician free of charge that was able to get the generator up and running and was able to verify that it was basically a brand new never used generator. They gave me a fair quote of what it would cost to pull proper permits, move the generator to the correct location to be within city codes and get everything hooked up with a full house auto transfer switch. It took about 5 hours total to get everything done but i'm very happy with the results. The entire crew was friendly and courteous and I appreciated that they didn't mind me hovering around them as I watch them do the install."

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. 

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.
