"We had an emergency light in our electrical closet that got no power. What a weird, isolated occurrence, since no other electrical issues existed. Brian was such a pleasant technician to work with! He was knowledgeable, prompt, gave me the best possible fixature option, a reasonable price and his service was fast! Thanks, Blake and Brian. They even installed the new emergency light. I will be sure to count on you for all of our electrical needs in the future. At least, then I can expect our exit lights won't be crooked :)"

"I can not say enough good things about Mr. Kirby and his company. He was very thorough, efficient and professional. I recently hired him to wire my new barn for lights and power as well as some improvements to my new home. We discussed my wishes prior to starting and his knowledge was pivotal in guiding me through the planning and supply process. He knew and adhered to all the electrical codes and he knew his business and trade. He worked very hard and was there every day until the project was complete. He even found some issues regarding previous work I'd had done and helped me resolve those in addition to the project I hired him for. I highly recommend him for ANY electrical project or problem you may have. I will always call him first for any of my future electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
