They’ve upgraded my electrical panel, installed light fixtures, replaced receptacles (outlets), installed switches, and, most recently, completed all the electrical work needed for my bathroom remodel. Not only do I recommend them, I recommend not wasting your time considering anyone else."

"These people are fantastic! Brandie answered the phone right away and took my information. I told her I needed the job done quickly and she sent my name and number to Jay (electrician), who luckily happened to be working near my area. He called me back promptly and although he had several other jobs, made arrangements to do the work for me the same day! He arrived at the time he said he would be there, and did a fantastic job! He patiently readjusted the height of the large chandelier several times until I was sure it was right, installed the large fixture flawlessly, cleaned up afterwards, and charged me a reasonable price. This company will be my "Go-To" for any electrical work from now on."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

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.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.
