"Mike and his assistant replaced my seriously outdated smoke detectors in the basement and first floor, replaced a second floor smoke detector with a combo smoke/carbon monoxide detector and in the attic replaced a heat detector. While at my house, they also looked at a poorly installed outlet in the basement and brought it up to standard and installed an outlet on my front porch! They were quick and extremely helpful and left no mess behind. I will definitely call MKS Electric again if I need any further electrical work done at my house."

"The workmanship was top notch. New sump pump, back up battery, plumbing and new drains were installed. The guys who installed were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. All of the above at what I though was a very fair price. I would use them again in a heartbeat."

"I would recommend this electrician to everyone I know. We purchased a new home and they were very flexible working around the plumbers and the carpet installation as well. The work is top quality and they were very accommodating to our vision for what we wanted. Corey also made helpful suggestions as we planned the project for things we may not have thought of and let us choose what we wanted. Couldn't be happier with the entire experience!"

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. 

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.
