"Seatown is a well-oiled machine! From the start (estimate of costs) to the final installation and safety checks I knew I picked the right company to do my generator project. All employees that were involved were knowledgeable and answered all my questions thoroughly and in a way that made sense to me. I plan to use this company again."

"Impressed with the level of detail for the finish work and the creative solutions for bringing up previous shoddy DIY work to code. Was able to perform a wide variety of tasks, including: hanging ceiling drywall, rewiring electric, bolstering ceiling supports, and LOTS more. Everything turned out great for the extensive remodel of 1000+ square footage of rooms and freshened up our space while ensuring stability and safety. The electrical throughout our house was outdated and he was also able to modernize it (GCFI, increasing amperages, fitting junction boxes, rewiring circuit panel, etc.). Our family feels much safer now. A breath of fresh air considering our own personal past experiences with hiring tradesmen, Aaron was very personable and honest. We were really overwhelmed with the scope of the project and what would be required, but he walked us through each of the steps for what would be required and explained what would be needed to bring it up to code. Aaron was receptive to our ideas for the remodel and was able to do everything we asked of him for it. Highly recommended. ð"

Customers say: Quality work

"we recently moved into this older manufactured home and wanted to make sure the electric issues were up to code. All was well until they found a loose wire in a light fixture. A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD! It was easily fixed but we were so grateful we had them come in and check everything! Andy and Chris were very friendly and professional. Bill, the owner, was helpful and answered all questions. We would highly recommend this company!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

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. 

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

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