"We had a fine experience with these folks. Our house is old (1939), so all electrical work is challenging. They relocated a 220v outlet (which required work in the crawl space), added another 110v outlet, upgraded an outside outlet to GFCI, installed a new doorbell and a new ceiling light to replace an old one that was failing. Everything was done well and professionally. We ended up with a callback when one of the outlets needed to be relocated â and they responded promptly and efficiently. They came promptly, as scheduled, worked unobtrusively, and cleaned up effectively. Strongly recommend them."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.
