"I asked for a team to install and wire 8 kitchen can lights. Great professional team that came in on time, did a great job protecting the kitchen, finished the job in less than 2 hours, and cleaned up behind themselves entirely. They charged a very reasonable price, and made the whole project as smooth and seamless as possible. Definitely recommend for your project."

"Excellent and efficient service, on time for appointment, repaired our Generac generator with OEM parts. I've always believed, if you can't explain it simply...you don't understand it well enough. This guy knows his stuff. The technician explained all repairs while making recommendations for future care and preventative maintenance. We understood and felt confident in our maintenance/repair decisions. One stop shop for generator, electrical and heating repair and including oil and propane products. We will be using them going forward for their services. Highly recommended!"

"When I called Andy to request an estimate, he came out the same day to look over the job in order to see what I wanted to have done which made me very happy. He did a good job with the electrical portion of the job (electrical component/wiring installation and electrical terminations). Primarily the only issue I had was that when he told me a time that he would be arriving at the house to start working for the day, he would show up anywhere from 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hours later than he stated that he would arrive which did not make me very happy. He didn't have the courtesy to call me when he was going to be late to inform me of his tardiness."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

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. 

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.
