"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

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

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.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.
