"I just wanted to say that this was my first experience with a trades company in my home and I had no idea what to expect. I was blown away at the professionalism and attention to detail from Arron and Matt. They showed me how much I was overpaying by having a tank water heater and they were able to remove the tank and install a tankless SAME DAY!! I will never use another company other than Eco."

"We had As You Wish come out and quote a panel upgrade for a new generator setup with direct plug. All Generac equipment. They took a small deposit and came back a few days later and did the work. Drivers came from Tacoma area and were on time. Techs were Alejandro and I didn't catch the other guys name. Super nice and knowledgeable. They got everything staged, boxes mounted to the walls and ready to go before turning off the power to hook it all up. Once they had the power off, they worked quickly and got it done and the power was back on. Once it was done, they cleaned up and showed me how to use the system when I need it for the next power outage. When it came time to pay the balance, it was exactly what was quoted and not a penny more. Its was a refreshing experience to have both great techs and no surprises for the payments. I will absolutely have them do any other work I need on this property without hesitation. Total invoice was $5,323"

"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!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

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.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
