"So north by northwest came highly recommended by a good friend of ours as we just purchased our home and we new it needed some extensive electrical work, ie new panel, open grounds fixed, we had multiple companies come out and give us the rundown, we went with north by northwest, upon us giving them all the issues and inspections we were very transparent and clear as to what we needed and safety concerns that we wanted addressed, I was VERY clear I wanted the house safe for my wife and children ,we were told they would be take care of, in the paperwork and verbally, they come and start the work and have still not done as they have stated they would do, I understand things come up and need to be addressed but here we are going back and forth and trying to get more estimates and quotes and the house is still not done, I am a cut and dry kind of man where honesty and integrity mean everything to me and when I say I am going to do something I do it.

"Summit Electrical's 2 employees (one journeyman, one aprentice) were prompt, they were clean and well groomed and they brought in a vacuum and a broom!

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

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.
