"I purchased a Big Deal, $49 for $249.  They installed an outdoor light for my house.  When they got there they called and asked if I had a light, I said no.  I thought, "here we go again, getting up-charged."  To my delight, the response was, "Well you are under your total price so we will just use on of ours."  That was awesome! They did a great job and I would use again! Thanks!!

"So much YES!!! John called me back within one business day of my initial inquiry to give us a quote and explain the generator transfer switch install process. We set an appointment for which Bill showed up exactly on time. He was OUTSTANDING. He explained everything he was planning to do, answered our questions along the way, gave us status updates and even though our house wasnâ t the most cooperative, went above & beyond to put the transfer switch in a spot that was more challenging for him but more convenient for us. Top notch customer service. He walked us through how to work everything and simulated a power outage to ensure it was perfect. And it was. John Gambino Electric has new lifelong customers. Thanks John & Bill!!!"

Generator Install FAQs, 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. 

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

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. 

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.
