"Tom installed a new panel upgrade and a transfer switch for our generator. Big Job. He did not cut any corners! The wiring is buttoned up and organized. The labeling is clear. Tom left us prepared for future installations and made sure we knew what to expect if/when we need the transfer switch. Very friendly and informative. Competitive pricing. Proactive communication."

"He did a super job. He even stayed to be sure that the ac was working before he left even though he was not the one that installed the ac. The ac would not power on. He fixed the issue that another installer did."

"Mike is the business owner and the electrician so he will be the one doing the work or he may sub out some of the easier work or trenches, etc. He ran a line out from the panel on our house to an out-building and put a new panel and a number of circuits in the building and installed LED lights. He also added some light fixtures inside our house. I thought he did a very nice job and talked me through things that I did not understand. He was willing to work with me if there were things that I wanted to do myself. Communication was good--he kept me up-to-date on how things were going and what his schedule was. He was working on other projects at the same time, so we talked about when it would work for him to be working on my project and when he would be on other projects and what my timeline was. The panel, trench, circuits, and outlets all look great. I will work with him again if I need more work done."

"I hired Charles to install an EV charger in our garage. He promptly provided an estimate and recommended installing a new, larger electrical panel to replace our old panel which was almost 40 years old and did not have space to add the EV charger circuit. I also asked him to install a generator inlet to the panel so that the EV battery could be used to power parts of the house in case of a power outage. Charles got the job done and had to rearrange some circuits so that the EV can power the most important portions of the house during a power outage. Overall, I am very happy with the quality and the efficiency of the work."

"I called Native Electric when I was looking for someone to inspect my ceiling fans. Communications were good. Mike called me an hour before my appointment to reschedule, as the job he had was taking much longer than expected--scope creep by the customer. Mike called me an hour or two before our next appointment to confirm that we were still on. Mike was very patient with my vague descriptions of problems and inspected each fan: three fans are fine, and the motor on one is wearing out. He charged me only $50 instead of the usual $70 because the visit was so short. When that motor goes out, I'll be calling Mike to install the new fan."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

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.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.
