"Always a first class experience. I own a remodeling and a real estate investing business and Copper Creek are my go-to for any electrical need. Our most recent project was installing can lights, updating some outlets with GFCIs and installing light fixtures. Projects have ranged from quickly troubleshooting a tripping breaker to entire rewires. Honest, reasonable, prompt, great quality and a pleasure to deal with."

"I called VB Electrical to come do the grounding of the gas meter. Taylen was quick and efficient in setting everything up. He showed up on time, and did an excellent job. I was impressed with everyone’s great customer service. I would hire them again for any electrical job."

"Professional, honest, and great communication! Aaron and Sarah responded quickly provided me great solutions on how to handle the job. They provided me a solid quote the same day as their initial visit. We scheduled our appointment, and they arrived on time and completed the work as scheduled. They got my coach lights wired and installed a new switch for them, as well as installed a new interlock switch for my back up generator. Everything works great, and I couldn't be happier! I will definitely be using this company again for any future electrical projects."

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

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.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

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.
