"Mike Powers responded to my query within seconds. I hadn't even had a chance to create my Angi password yet. Unlike other contractors, he gave me a quote within a week. (One contractor came out twice, then never gave me a quote or answered my follow-up emails. Guess he didn't want my business.) The biggest delay was obtaining the generator I wanted, a Kohler instead of a Generac. But everything was great on Mike's end. His electrical crew was thorough and efficient, as were the sub-contracted plumbers. Now, I just hope I have no need to use it, although I am confident it will work."

"We had a panel swap out. Bryan was quick to respond to my inquiry. He had to involve AEP and the city inspector on the day of the install. They did a great job and were very quick! I highly recommend anyone in need of electrical work to contact Steller Electric."

"Scheduling with Breeze was super simple and they were able to accommodate my busy schedule. My technician was polite and was able to trouble shoot errors that a previous electrician made. I wish I had used them to begin with. The Generator was Installed in one afternoon too! As for pricing I thought they were average. You get what you pay for though, they do quality work so I donâ t mind paying a little more. Less headaches in the long run!!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

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.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
