"Work was well done, and they thought about how to best install the outlets to serve the needed purpose. Installation was quick and professional, they also cleaned up after themselves. I will use Thundercolt Electric for future electrical needs."

"I had finally broke down and bought a generator. When I called one of the big guys they said they would show up at a certain time. Lets just say they did not. When I called to their office all I got was the run around. I was referred to James Griffin Electric by a friend and when I called I was surprised the owner actually answered. He was able to get out there very promptly and got me going. I will definitely be using him again and referring him in the future."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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.

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.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.
