Est 1989 after hour emergency service available also Saturday and Sunday accept credit cards

"Awesome! The people were courteous, respectful, gave detailed information about what needed to be done and kept to the estimated cost. The initial response to my first contact came within 30 minutes. Mr. Hurley was on the property about thirty or thirty-five minutes later. He scheduled the work for the next morning, after giving me the estimate and waiting for my approval to go ahead. The damage had been caused by a tornado-we live in a double-wide. He looked into requirements for permits and inspections, which were waved due to the nature of our situation. He also contacted the power company to give them an estimate as to when he would be done; he contacted them again upon completion of the work, and, about four hours later we had power. The tornado hit on Monday, during my wife's 72nd birthday party. Other companies I contacted said they could not get to me until the middle of next week. I contacted Mr. Hurley Wednesday and Thursday afternoon the job was done and we had power. Mr, Hurley explained to me that when they heard about situations like ours, they worked the job in as soon as they possibly could as they considered our situation an emergency. We were exceptionally pleased with this company and its employees."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.

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. 

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. 

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.
