"I had the guys from OneWay Electrical handle several electrical projects for me and all were done efficiently and effectively. They changed a bad ballast in the fluorescent light in my kitchen that has rather tall ceilings. They installed USB and plug outlets in the wall above a recently installed counter, took down an old light fixture and hung a ceiling fan/light replacement and installed switches on my attic lights in place of the pull strings that continued to break. For the projects I did not already have supplies for they bought the supplies and came ready to install them. Excellent gentlemen to do business with."

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. 

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.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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

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.
