"Electrician had professional appearance and work ethic. Job was not easy due to the new RG6 cable was required to be installed in the flat roof area of the home which is a very confined space to maneuver. Arrived on time as promised, but unfortunately the cable used was not adequate to transmit the new Spectrum digital signal and the following day I had to have the newly installed cable (which was a copper cladded RG6 cable) replaced by a steel cladded RG6 cable in order to receive the Spectrum signal. I attempted to alert the electrician that due to the recent change of Spectrum from an analog signal to a digital signal on April 17th 2018 that he needed to use a higher quality RG6 cable or he would continue to have unsatisfied customers. Electrician has failed to return my call which is unfortunate for him as I think his work was excellent, but his future cable installation jobs may be rated less than excellent if the quality of cable used is not resolved."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

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.

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. 

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.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
