"Christopher did an amazing job installing a new light fixture over my bathroom sink. He was on time, cleaned up the work area, and even took the time to teach me some things. I highly recommend this company. Will definitely use them again!"

"Please read all of this . I don't know where to start but , these guys went above and beyond to install our 22kw generac generator on our house in a time of need . Unfortunately I am having some heart issues that put me in and out of the emergency room this last couple weeks which is not a good situation at all along with the pandemic going on its hard for me to get the proper medical treatment and medication I need. I have some medical equipment I need at the house to stay running so we decided to get a generator from generac to supply the house in case we lost power with everything going on . We ended up hiring this company after the owner came out to give us a estimate. I could barely walk that day and was not in good shape . He was more concerned about my health then getting more business for him which meant alot to me . After that he gave me a price and I explained what my situation was and I depended on having it installed asap . WES and his wife went well out of their way to get this installed even moved their schedule around to make it happen the day after receiving my generator and stayed all day to do it . The workers that came by where very polite and professional I could not Express how grateful me and my family is to their whole team . These guys are truly good guys . I apologize for making this to long of a review or going on and on but , even while I am laying down not doing well at all in is definitely one of the hardest times of my life . I wanted and my family wanted to Express our appreciation for everything they did for us when most wouldn't go out of there way . They did and I won't foget that even after I get through this . Thanks again !!"

"Phoenix electrical is owned by Paul, a master electrician, who does the initial consultation to figure out a quote, he is very direct and honest but easy to talk to and work with. Their customer service is excellent, they kept me well informed throughout the process and were very friendly and accommodating. Pheonixs quote was fair without question, his crew had a tough job installing a generator transfer switch kit set up, I live in a house built in the late 80s, so, the electrical system is a bit older and they ran into issues but they worked non stop and persevered through the challenges, found solutions, and completed the job as promised. Without question, I recommend Phoenix Electrical, and I will certainly seek them out first for any future electrical work. Thank you."

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. 

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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. 

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.
