"Elliott does great work for a great price. He installed a new 100 amp breaker box and updated some of the house wiring to accommodate the new service. He also wired the newly renovated basement with all the wiring and installed all the outlets, switches and drop ceiling LED lights that have dimmer capability. He is meticulous in what he does."

"I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Zach was professional, knowledgeable, and completed the job much faster than I expected without sacrificing quality. He arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and made sure the work was done right the first time. What impressed me most was the value. Not only was the workmanship excellent, but the price was significantly more reasonable than other quotes I received! It's rare to find someone who delivers such high-quality work while keeping costs affordable! If you're looking for an honest, skilled electrician who works efficiently and provides excellent service at a fair price, I highly recommend him. I'll definitely be calling again for any future electrical needs!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Check the matching breaker in your panel, since the number is printed on the switch. You can also tell them apart by sight. A 15-amp outlet has two straight vertical slots, while a 20-amp outlet has one vertical slot and one sideways T-slot.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

To install an outlet from existing wiring, you’ll need to choose a location where you can already access existing wiring. The easiest way to do this is to install an outlet on the other side of the wall of an existing outlet. 

Since the wiring is already in place, all you have to do is connect a new cable to the existing wiring and then connect the correct wires through the wall—to the new electrical outlet. Place your new outlet into the opening in the wall and then connect the correct wires to the appropriate terminal screws.

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.

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.
