"They first brought in and attempted to install the wrong (lower level) model but the job boss caught it and they brought in the correct one. Then they couldn't get the thermostat to work but came back the next day and got it working. The next week the thermostat read 3 degrees higher than the set temp, next day it was a 4 degree difference, next day the screen went blank. They came out within an hour and fixed it but didn't seem to know what was wrong. Seems like the problem is with the American Standard product though. Cuccos was quick to fix the problems and very polite and clean. But also, the Angie's List page says they give a 10% discount to seniors and I didn't get that - when I asked, instead the owner offered 5 years free maintenance."

"The quote process was fairly painless. All of my questions were answered and the price was agreeable. The check was written and the equipment was ordered. I asked the salesman Byron to coordinate his electrician with my electrical contractor on the installation of the genny and ATS. He said this was done and nothing to worry about. Several weeks later after all foundations were poured and ditches covered, Byron and his electrician came out to deliver the transfer switch. To my surprise, the electrician had never been to my property and quickly informed me that the transfer switch they brought was not the correct one. After some investigation, it was discovered the Powernow ordered and delivered the wrong ATS. They did agree to install the additional required equipment to make the ATS on hand work. The generator was delivered with 2hrs notice. This was Sept20. Install finally began two weeks later. During installation, the electrician couldn't figure out how to make the ATS and the generator talk to each other. A Cummins rep was called out. After a day of work, the ATS and generator were talking. The Cummins PowerCommand system was also ordered. This the system which relays the generator status and control over the home network to be accessed online. No one inside of PowerNow has a clue on how this system is supposed to be installed. Bi weekly emails and phone calls were made to inquire on the status of the install. To date, Dec27, nothing has happened with the install of the PowerCommand module. I finally cut PowerNow loose and told them I would find someone that knew what they were doing. PowerNow is very keen on collecting the check for the job. However, once money is in hand, all priority goes out the window. The sales team has no clue on how the components they are selling all fit together. I spent close to $30K on this system and due to PowerNow's incompetence I am left with a brand new system covered in bandaids. Steer clear of this company."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.

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.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

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.
