"Nick Murray, one of the Murray brothers, replaced a circuit breakers panel in the basement and installed a full house generator with switch panel on my house. Nick did a great job! Very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend this company for electric works."

"Eric and his team were very professional and very easy to work with. We lived in our home the entire time the second story addition was being built, and had no issues. Eric did a great job of keeping us informed along every step of the way, especially as to any issues which cropped up (as invariably will happen) and did a good job of presenting us with our options, explaining things to use, and keeping us on task. He was patient with us when we delayed in making decisions, or changed our minds. The work was completed in a timely manner and came in right around the estimate Eric had given us at the onset. Eric's pricing was competitive, not the cheapest but not the most expensive either, and we definitely feel that we received quality work and materials for what we paid. We've been living/using our new space for about 3 months now and are so pleased with it. Highly highly recommend!"

"Dave and his guys did a great job, as always. He came out next day. Fixed an outdoor outlet by my pool and installed a Ring flood light and camera for my side yard. Done within an hour at a very reasonable price. Can't recommend them enough."

"Highly recommend AMF for all your electrical needs. The whole crew were very professional. Took the time to explain everything from existing issues they found and the steps they would take to repair. They had to move some furniture and other things and paid close attention to detail while cleaning up after themselves and putting everything back exactly how it was. Top notch craftsmanship"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

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.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
