"I recently hired Andrea from CCC Electric to help with some wiring upgrades in my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism and expertise were exceptional. Andrea arrived right on time and immediately impressed me with their friendly demeanor and clear communication. They took the time to thoroughly assess the project and provided me with a detailed explanation of the work that needed to be done. Throughout the job, Andrea demonstrated an impressive attention to detail, ensuring that every wire was neatly organized and properly installed. They also went above and beyond to address any potential safety concerns, giving me peace of mind knowing that my home was in good hands. Not only did she complete the job within the agreed timeframe, but they also stayed within my budget without sacrificing quality. Their commitment to providing excellent service while respecting my financial constraints was truly commendable. Overall, I highly recommend CCC Electric to anyone in need of electrical services. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction make them stand out as one of the best electricians I've ever worked with. I will definitely be calling them again for any future electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.
