"Very pleased with the finished work. Donny did a great job with everything, he really knows what he is doing. Put a new service entrance in, new breaker box in the basement, fixed up an old dryer plug and some new wiring. I have a few other smaller projects and he will be my go to guy. Thanks again Donny."

"I recently hired Shalkham Electric & Construction for electrical work at my home, and I am extremely pleased with the entire experience. The owner, Matthew, was absolutely amazing—very friendly, professional, and easy to work with. From the first conversation to the completion of the project, he made sure everything was explained clearly and that all my questions were answered. Matthew and his team are highly knowledgeable and take great pride in their work. The quality of the electrical work was excellent, and their attention to detail was impressive. They completed the job efficiently, kept the work area clean, and made sure everything was done safely and correctly. Their customer service was outstanding throughout the entire process. It’s refreshing to work with a company that truly cares about its customers and stands behind its work. On top of that, their pricing was very fair and affordable, providing excellent value for the quality of service received. Highly Recommend!!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

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 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.

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.
