"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!"

"Can highly recommend this company. Service and installation was great. Very professional and friendly. Generators are in short supply, so plan early. Allow about three to four months for generator to be available."

"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."

"I hired Bayou for what I thought was a minor problem. As it turned out I had a very serious problem with my electrical panels both inside and out. The technician was very helpful and informative and showverme in detail what my problem was.The service was great and over and above what I would expect. Since the problem was a danger to my home, they moved very fast to fix the problem. I cannot say enough about the stellar service. As far as price is concerned, because the problems grew, the service e tech did manage to discount the second phase of the project. I do not know , frankly, if the cost is comparable to other companies, but I am grateful I did not have an electrical fire and that my home is intact. I highly recommend Chris as a technician. He did not leave the day of service until he was sure I was safe in my home until the remaining part arrived and was installed."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

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. 

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.
