"I call mr. Jacob, about my front yard lamp post. I had an issue with it not coming on at night time, Mr. Jacob gave me an appointment time, he inspected and told me what he could do to repair the light! He ordered the parts and came on back out and put the light back in service for me. This is a very professional business! Thank you lone Star Electric for taking care of my issue!"

"I couldn't be more thrilled with my generator purchase. They walked me through the process and worked with the city and got it installed. The power went out yesterday for several hours and guess what.... I had power. Thank you New Source for your hard work and dedication."

"Very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only repaired my issues but explained how it worked, why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again. They also came free of charge for a follow check up when I thought I was having an issue, but it turns out it was a misunderstanding on my part so the technician taught me once more and things have been perfe t since. I will never use another electrician."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

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.

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.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home
