Why Choose an Electrician for Generator Installation?

A standby generator isn't a standalone appliance. It becomes part of your home's electrical system, which makes proper installation especially important. Working with an experienced home generator installer helps ensure the generator, transfer switch, wiring, and electrical panel are properly connected and configured.


A generator electrician can also evaluate your home's electrical demand to help determine the appropriate setup. GoodFellas Electric handles the electrical side of generator installation with safety, reliability, and long-term performance in mind, so your backup power system is prepared to work when an outage occurs.

Frequently Asked Generator Questions

  • What size generator do I need for my home?

    Generator size depends on what you want to power during an outage and the electrical demands of those systems. A home generator installer can evaluate your needs and help determine an appropriate generator size and setup.

  • What is the difference between a standby generator and a portable generator?

    A standby generator is permanently installed and connected to the home's electrical system. Portable generators are movable and typically require a different setup. Whole home and standby generator installations can provide a more integrated backup power solution.

  • Can a whole home generator turn on automatically?

    Yes. Many standby generator systems use an automatic transfer switch that detects when utility power is lost and switches the home to generator power without requiring you to manually start the system.

  • Do I need an electrician for generator installation?

    Yes, professional electrical work is an important part of backup generator installation. A generator electrician can properly connect the generator and transfer equipment to your home's electrical system while accounting for electrical load and applicable requirements.

  • Can you troubleshoot or repair an existing home generator?

    GoodFellas Electric can troubleshoot electrical issues related to residential generator systems and determine what may be preventing the system from operating properly. Depending on the issue, we can recommend the appropriate electrical repair or next step.
