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

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.

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.

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.
