"Very good price to put switch to run generator installed an electrical switch (not a lockout) to convert to generator power during power outage. Tech stayed on communication throughout. He was on time and got the job done in one visit. He brought a better cover the next day than the one furnished with the receptive. I highly recommend his work."

"Tyler installed an EV charger in my garage. He was very professional and kept me informed from first contact of arrival time and stuck to it or made me aware of any delays. He was meticulous in his work and stayed late into the night until the job was done. I will hire him again in the future for my electrical needs."

"It wasn’t just that the two contractors did a superb job on installing a line from my pool power box to my workshop; it was all the extra service they provided which really made a difference: 1. Helping me find a problem in socket within my kitchen and then follow-up on fixing related “anomalies” from my work on that socket 2. Taking time to trouble shoot garage door opener that had plagued me for weeks. 3. Retuning to replace a breaker that had blown when I incorrectly hooked up wire within my shop. All at no extra charge. Thanks, guys"

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. 

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.

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.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.
