"Joe Brachear was extremely professional, personable, and exceptionally communicative from our very first interaction through the completion of the project. He also took the time to help us understand the ins and outs of the rebates available to us, which we greatly appreciated. Joe’s crew—Jesse and Kevin—were truly outstanding as well. They were professional and friendly from start to finish, kept the job site spotless, and stayed exactly on schedule. Whenever we had questions, Joe was quick to respond by email, text, or phone, which made the entire process stress-free. To top it all off, Rock Solid Electric’s bid was significantly lower than quotes we received from solar contractors in Spokane—and they were able to get us on the calendar quickly. We’ve found our go-to electrical professionals and recommend Rock Solid Electric, Joe, and his entire team without hesitation or reservation."

"They did a real good job. They were real professional. We can now open the garage door from the inside of the house and now it is so smooth that we have to check to see if we hit the button to open it or close it.  Before we used to know when it was opening or closing because it used to make a noise. It helps when you move to a city where you are new. "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

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.
