We are a small, family owned business that has been serving central PA for nearly 40 years. In 2010 we began installing Generac home standby generators and since then have become the go-to dealer in the Harrisburg area. We proudly hold a 5-star rating and have thousands of happy customers. If you want to work with a company that knows their stuff, and will be around for years to come, choose Absolute.

"Tyler and Tom arrived at 8:30 A.M. on time. They reviewed with us where the generator and tanks would be placed. They leveled the ground and placed the pads for the tanks and generator. Tyler attached the transfer switch beside the electric meter and wired to generator while Tom did the wiring in our basement to our circuit box. The master plumber (provided by Absolute Solar) arrived and did the hook up to the two propane tanks and under ground gas line to the generator. They were all done and cleaned up by 1:30 P.M. All workers were very professional and personable. They did a fantastic job as promised by the owner Rick Fortney. To say we are pleased is an understatement."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

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.
