Frequently Asked Questions

The location of the transfer switch depends on its type and the size of your generator. In most cases, the transfer switch is mounted on the wall next to your main breaker panel - this panel is inside a garage, the transfer switch will be inside the garage. Likewise, if the breaker panel is outside of the home, the transfer switch will also be installed outside of the home.

For smaller generators powering only essentials, the non-essentials may remain in the main panel, and essentials may be placed in a sub-panel. With this setup, the transfer switch is installed at the sub-panel to ensure that those essential appliances are powered by the generator in the case of an outage.

At Premier Generators, we understand that every home is unique. We take into consideration factors such as property layout, service panel location, and specific lights and appliances requiring backup power. This allows us to tailor a backup power solution that meets your specific needs.

A natural gas installation involves setting up the necessary infrastructure to supply natural gas to your home. This includes installing a gas line from the main supply to your home and setting up the necessary appliances and fixtures. At Bo's Electric, we handle all aspects of the installation, including obtaining the necessary permits and making the final connections.

Whole-home generators can run off of either natural gas or propane. If you live in a residential area, it is always best to simply tie into your home’s existing natural gas line. This is done by using a tee to connect to the main gas line and then running an additional pipe to the generator.

In rural areas without access to natural gas, you will need to have a large propane tank installed if you don’t already have one. In this case, you will also require an additional concrete pad for the propane tank to sit on. Most regulations require that propane tanks be at least 10 feet away from any source of ignition, and this includes a whole-home generator. That being said, the tank shouldn’t be much more than 10 feet away if possible as manufacturers still recommend that the generator is as close as possible to the fuel source.

The automatic transfer switch is what controls the generator and signals it to run whenever the power goes out. It works by constantly monitoring the flow of electricity coming into your breaker panel. When it detects that no electricity is flowing, it simultaneously isolates your home from the electrical grid and signals the generator to start. As soon as the generator starts, the switch activates so that electricity from the generator flows into your home.

A Word From Our Clients

Our esteemed clients vouch for our unmatched generator service standards. Hear directly from them!

The installation team was on time, professional and did a great job overall. Very happy with the service, start to finish! We’ve had our Genera for a year now and it performs very well. It’s come on within 10 - 15 seconds during the outages we’ve had. I can strongly recommend Premier Generators!

Our Generac Generator was installed this week. The technicians arrived on time and were the most pleasant people. Their first steps assured us we were in good hands. They were efficient, knowledgeable, team players, gladly answered all our questions and obviously took a lot of pride in their job and their company. From the beginning meeting with the sales rep. Aaron, who is another asset to Premier Generators, to the installation, and all the technical help from the knowledgeable ladies in their office, this is a smooth working organization who sincerely care about their customers. We highly recommend Premier Generator
