Installing our new 24kw Generac generator with electrical wiring.

NOTE: This video Is not a tutorial, and I highly recommend having a trained electrician install your transfer switch for you. I am a qualified electrician, that’s why I did my own installation. However, serious injury or death can occur if you don’t know what you’re doing

I am a Master Electrician with 31 years of experience. I've hooked up everything from a thousand PLC's VFD's you name it. I far from know everything. If someone does, you better run. My point being is I have never in my life hooked up a home generator. Thanks so much for the help and the advice sir

My son in law is an electrician. Tuesday night, he hooked up two large generators to the business that my daughter works at. They had to wait for these large generators to be shipped from Atlanta Georgia to just outside of Tallahassee Florida. It took them nearly all night to get them hooked up and running. My wife and I are having a house built and an standby generator installed. Guess who will be installing it. LOL.

27 year electrician here. I’ve never installed a whole house generator so I watched your video to see if I was missing anything… Your video was great, excellent speed, no jumping around from clip to clip with edits and you covered a lot of information clearly.

Great job and props for doing what you do to help neighbors.

[DarrenWS]

Only tools needed, Hammer Kleins, and screwdriver chisel. Instantly made my day.

[petepetroff]

Great job! Only suggestion I would make is to use an anti-oxidant compound like Noalox when using aluminum wire.

I’m a journeyman electrician with almost 45 years of experience and have never installed a whole house generator like your Generac with an automatic transfer switch. I’ve installed my manual transfer switch and mobile generator and really appreciate this video. Thank you sir!

[stevengeisler]

I am a signing Supervisor here in Oregon . I am impressed with your work in more way than one . Keep it up, I like helping our neighbors also. It doe's nothing good to hide the knowledge.

[jjjames]

Super nice guy, great attention to detail, and like the fact he uses his knowledge to help others, the world could use more like you.

I'm also a master electrician with 29 years of experience but I never installed a stand alone generator because I mostly work alone and don't have a full time assistant.very informative.thank you

Hello, remember always, always, always pull the necessary permits and have the unit inspected by the township. A friend of mine installed his own and screwed up resulting in his house burning down. The insurance company would not cover his house because the unit had not been inspected. A word to the wise, just do it. If a company installs it for you make damn sure they pull all the permits. When I installed mine, I had a professional electrician do the wiring and I performed the rest working closely with the inspectors. My unit runs perfect and has for 12 years now. No problems with the Generac unit.

I waisted a few hours on very Bad Video's and finally found yours. Best video's on the Generac Gen Set Install. Thank You for the Great Video's

[farrOutTV]

Bless you for having all those kids and homeschooling to boot.

[Z-Bart]

I sure could have used one of these 3 days ago. We had high sustained winds and many power outages. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[dirtydust]

Very humble dude, good energy, keep up the good work and you are right we don’t know it all. Journeyman from Massachusetts

[BulletProofSoul]

23:37 I know you said you might not be the most knowledgeable electrician out there, but this right here shows just how serious you take the profession and the pride you put in your work. I would definitely have no problem picking you for a job even over a more "experienced" guy, because you showed you're about getting it done right. If you don't know it I'm sure you'll find it. Great Job Man!

[JimWebsterWeb]

Great video, as a retired electrician, it's nice to see someone who does clean and neat work.

[benlewelling]

Thanks! Very informative. I’m just a Aircraft Mechanic, but after watching your video, I believe I can install the Generac we will be getting soon.

I have been a Generac customer for 20 years. I have a 24 Kw propane fired generator with automatic switching gear. This is my 5th set up. I was in the Army and moved a lot, but always lived out. I am 73 and live on a farm in southern Ohio. I can run my house and out buildings to include my Lincoln 1500 welder off of my generator. Generac is first class and will help you with designing a system to fit your needs. A recommendation, spend the money and purchase the switching gear, it is worth the money. The systems are not cheap, but reasonable. In an emergency you do not want to bet your life on the low bidder!

[wizardz]

one note to all there is this magical substance called duck seal works like plumbers putty for sparks great for sealing around couplings, connecters, boxes even holes lol would have used it at the outdoor panel pvc connecter

[AngeliqueKaga]

You are so right about having a trained Electrician install, and then service the unit. I had Action Electric out of Houghton Lake Michigan install our unit. When the lights go out, about a minute later the Generator fires up. That big switch kicks in. We've had a few nights when the lights went out, but the generator keeps us safe,
