"Went great. Really appreciate the research and prep Jeremy did ahead of coming into the quote. He had smart options picked out, and was also ready to do it my way. The "can do" attitude was great. He arrived early. Did the install work on a Saturday, which was super convenient for me and my family. As with any project, unforseen obstacles were encountered. Jeremy brought them to my attention, proposed a path forward. And we went with it. Long story short, great job. Already have him on the schedule for the next project!"

"We discovered a strange odor and went to investigate. We found smoke coming from a breaker in our breaker box. I called Fusion Electrical Services right away. Parker was here in two hours. He located the cause of the problem quickly, checked for any other problems, and made the the repairs. Everyone from the person who took my call to the electrician were very polite and went the extra mile to get our repair completed in a timely manner. Service was great, the price was very reasonable. I have called on Fusion Electrical Services to do the necessary wiring to install a lift in my garage and was very happy with the work. I highly recommend this company."

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.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

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.

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.
