What to Keep On in a Magic Valley Outage

Most people want the furnace, the fridge and freezer, a few lights, and a well pump if they're on one. Rural homes outside town often add stock-tank heaters and shop power. List the must-haves and the generator is sized around them.

No extension-cord back-feeding

Plugging a generator into a wall outlet can energize the lines outside and injure line crews. A transfer switch or interlock is the safe way.

What Drives the Price of Generator Installation

No two houses are wired the same, so the price comes after an electrician looks. It mostly depends on generator size, transfer switch type, distance to the gas or propane supply, and the pad and site prep. Request a free estimate and you'll get a price before anything starts.

Common Questions About Generator Installation

Whole house or essentials only?

Both work. Essentials-only costs less; whole-house is simpler to live with. A load review lays out both.

Can it run a well pump?

Yes, if it's sized for the pump's starting load.

Who handles the electrical permit in Twin Falls?

Inside city limits, electrical permits and inspections go through the City of Twin Falls Building Safety Department on Main Avenue East, which has its own electrical inspector. Outside the city the jurisdiction can differ. Your electrician pulls the right permit and books the inspections.
