Their experienced team of technicians were there on time when they said theyâ d be there.

"Work was done exactly as itemized on the quotation. All the people from A.A. and the plumbing company were professional and a pleasure to deal with. The only thing that kept me from awarding all A's was that we were originally told the entire process would take about 4 weeks, but it actually went on for almost 8 weeks. There was also at least one occasion where we set up an appointment and no one showed up that day.  Other than that, I highly recommend A.A. for honesty, professionalism, and quality work.

"Greg took the time to figure out where all the wiring connections were. He took great care to do this without making any holes at all. He also installed two ceiling lights, GFCI outlets and a bathroom exhaust fan, including the ductwork. Great job and left the place neat and tidy."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

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.
