"From scheduling through installation had an excellent experience. This was a surprisingly pleasant morning with not only highly-competent and professional electrical services rendered, but done so by two gentlemen operating swiftly and politely with integrity. I would use them again in a heartbeat and absolutely recommend their services."

"They came out and gave a quote with several generator options.  After we decided on the one we wanted they scheduled the installation.  The installation took just one day.  Now I'm ready for severe summer storms, winter snows, or any other weather disaster that may strike!

"It was my first time hiring this company to work on my air conditioning unit, and I have to say that they did a fantastic job. They re-install a new electrical system and air conditioning unit and the job was well done. They arrived on time, they were professional, knowledgeable about their area of expertise, and they clean up and remove all old appliances. I definitely recommend this company to anyone and everyone. They all did a great job."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

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.

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.

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.
