"I couldn't be happier with Skyline Electrical Services! They installed a new electrical panel, EV charging outlet, backup generator inlet, and an outlet for a tankless water heater. The workmanship was exceptional, even better than the original installation, and every breaker was accurately labeled. Communication was excellent, and they kept me informed throughout the project. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and finished everything in one day. They coordinated seamlessly with another crew installing my furnace, AC, and water heater. Everything was left clean and tidy. Skyline wasn't the cheapest option, but I feel extremely good about the price I paid. Considering the outstanding workmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail, I believe I received exceptional value for my money. I highly recommend Skyline and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!"

"Nathan was very professional and very helpful. When he finished he explained clearly what had gone wrong and what I can do in the future to avoid it. He made some suggestions to make this old house work better that I have taken to heart. I heartily recommend Nate. He was polite, efficient, knowledgeable, and professional, and pleasant to be around."

"Starting with the sales process, Nate was informative and great. Could've sold me a more expensive replacement system, but instead identifies how my current system cod be retrofitted with a heat pump. That sold me on G&S right there. Everything from the initial install review, the office staff working with my lender, to Izaak and the install and electrical teams, was punctual, informative and professional. I've had several bad experiences with other contractors, but I would confidently recommend G&S for any job and plan to use them again for a generator switch install. Good people with a good business. Thank you G&S!"

"Brett came out to size up my job and provide an estimate. I was installing solar panels for a backup generator. He came out 2 weeks later to do the job. Brett did a great job and ensured all was working and spent the time explaining how the system worked and how to monitor it. Brett was very patient and meticulous in his work and very knowledgeable. I would definitely hire him again. Thank you, Brett!"

"I highly recommend Alex Moody, owner of Skyline Electrical Services (425) 626-3679. He was recommended to me “without hesitation” by a retired contractor who has worked for me for years. Alex is experienced in all residential matters, but has also done major installations (i.e., fitness centers), and is certified by Tesla for related electrical issues. I’ve used Alex’s services twice in the past 4 months, initially for various electrical projects that included setting up my home security. Then, during the Christmas holidays, an urgent problem arose, due to significant corrosion of the wiring in my house which put my whole home in jeopardy. Alex and Bryce responded immediately, secured the necessary permit and utility company involvement, repaired the damage, and resolved the situation incredibly quickly. Given these experiences, I trust this company implicitly. Alex is a confident and skilled professional who will quickly assess your situation, propose options, do what he says he can do, in the time he estimates it will take, and at a fair cost. This company's a winner!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.
