"Hired him to install a tandem 20 amp breaker and a 20 amp outlet in my garage. He showed up on time with all necessary tools and equipment, the job was completed in a timely manner and his price was the best I had quoted. He was very polite and professional and did an outstanding job on the install,by far the best electrician I have hired so far. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing some electrical work done for a fair price Top Notch is your choice. I will be using them in the future for all my electrical needs."

"These young men took the inner working of the main electrical power distribution center of my house loose. Dismantled the connections and removed the panel, installed A new panel box, installed all the proper breaker and connected the wiring back in the right order. All in all an amazing feat to be completed in the time in was done. Puled up to the house at 7 in the morning and by 1:30 early the same afternoon power shut off to the house, MDP (main distribution Panel) and all associated hardware switched over, inspected and approved by State Electrical Inspector, and power restored. WOW. This company is about a year old and the young man that owns it is old school. His thinking is simple and straight forward. If I need work done and I'm in the area, one decision will be easy to make.

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

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. 

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

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.
