"I had 3 different companies tell me my Generac home generator was beyond repair including Generac themselves. Brian from Powerton showed up and methodology troubleshooting the problem removed the entire engine and found then problem. He is extremely knowledgeable and persistent. Wonderful to see a highly skilled technician rather than someone who says just replace with a new one. I would highly recommend this company. If all their technicians are as skilled as Brian this place is AAA++. Thanks so much"

"Jason installed doorbells at 2 doors. There were no functioning doorbells when I purchased this house 5 years ago. Various contractors warned me of the difficulty and expense of hardwired installations, making me put off the project. Wireless doorbells were unreliable. I was encouraged by James, who did my annual electrical maintenance, and scheduled the work for me. Jason did a fantastic job by creative thinking to avoid the difficulties I'd previously been warned about. He did the job quickly, neatly, and very successfully. I am thrilled to have working doorbells for the first time in 5 years!"

"Troy did an amazing job on several projects for us. He installed a 220 sub panel box and wired in a new hot tub. Additionally, he wired up our basement during a remodel, same as a new construction build. We hired him back on for the project due to the professionalism and fairness he brought with him on his first job with us. I’m a meticulous guy and picky about how my electrical work looks. Troy came in above and beyond of what I was expecting with his order of neatness and cleanliness when laying his lines. Everything had to be perfect for him and I feel he exceeded what my high expectations were already. I would certainly only consider him for whatever our next electrical project is."

"We were walked through the products and installation as well as the benefits of a heat pump. The install was done in one day. Very quick and efficient. We've had the units running for about a month and they are awesome. We're very happy with our decision."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

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.

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.
