"5 stars! Mark Chapman with US Energy Solutions just installed a manual transfer switch box for my portable generator. The work was done professionally, on time, and very reasonably priced. Mark tested the install before he finished and it was perfect the first time. He was knowledgeable and experienced. My next electrical project will start with a call to Mark!"

"Job was done quickly and efficiently. Options were discussed and weighed. I took a chance to cut power when it was so cold, but Vitaliy had the large part done and inspected such that we were only without power around 26 hours (one night). The job included many challenges: new ground, new meter box/panel, generator cutout, 2 new 240v circuits. All at a very fair price. Now I know who to call."

"We wanted to update our dated kitchen, and needed to upgrade multiple aspects of the electrical. We called Current Electric on recommendation from a friend who had used their services in the past. Through the entire process of replacing the old lighting with more modern fixtures, installing an outlet in the pantry for our toaster oven to free up counter space, and adding a switch under the sink for the new garbage disposal we had plumbers install beforehand, these contractors were friendly, professional and knowledgable. They worked in a timely manner that allowed us to stress less about the project and enjoy the new look and function of our updated kitchen. Everything works just how we had hoped and we intend to use their services for any future electrical work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

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.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.
