"Todd was the tech on my job, he was friendly and answered all my questions Was varied, though, and did a fantastic job. His attention to detail was evident in how he set up and routed wires, ensuring everything was neat and looking perfect. He was fast and efficient and cleaned up the site when done . he walked me through everything he did and why . Would recommend Jco to everyone, their fair pricing and on-time services are truly a rare thing in this service area. Thank you so much, Jonathan"

"I hired Pierce Creek to wire and install a 240V hot tub disconnect and a home generator transfer switch, and they did an outstanding job. Jacob was fantastic—highly knowledgeable, professional, and extremely reliable. The work was done efficiently and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend them for any residential electrical needs!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
