"Office staff was super helpful in getting this generator installed. And, on the day of installation, the technicians never took a break. At the same time, were very accommodating and and answered our questions fully. Great install. I would (and have) recommend Hurricane Homes."

"He did a great job. He even recommended a good quality ceiling fan. I had one and he said I can install that for you but you may not be as happy with the balance of it. So I was able to return it and got one for the same price that we would be happy to have in the room. He was just really good. He didn't make us go with the new one he just suggested from his experience. He came so fast. He just worked near here. I think I called him the week before and because he would have to have access to the attic I had him wait until the following week and it wouldn't be so hot. It was so quickly done."

"Synergy from start to finish was the best decision we could have made. Starting with our sales representative David, he was knowledgeable, friendly and responsive. The office staff kept us up to date with scheduling and installation information. The installation crew were on time, neat, and very respectful of our property. When the installation was completed, our sales representative David was back out on site, to go over our installation and the demo of the generator. I would definitely recommend this company to all my friends and family."

"I had 3 different companies tell me my Generac home generator was beyond repair including Generac themselves. Brian from Powerton showed up and methodology troubleshooting the problem removed the entire engine and found then problem. He is extremely knowledgeable and persistent. Wonderful to see a highly skilled technician rather than someone who says just replace with a new one. I would highly recommend this company. If all their technicians are as skilled as Brian this place is AAA++. Thanks so much"

"The major part of the work was replacing an old outdated Bulldog Pushmatic electric panel with the latest main breaker system. They also replaced the Matter Base, labeled all the circuits, replaced and installed GFCI, installed 5 new fixes and 2 ceiling fans, added outlets inside and in the garage, and fixed bad wiring in a few places from previous owners."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.
