Hey man! Congrats on setting up your house with a generator connection. May I ask you how much did you spend on the whole process? I'm thinking about upgrading my, but I've never encountered anything like this before, so I'm quite inexperienced. I'd definitely call the electrician to test the system if I were you. He got paid for it, so he must deal with the entire installation procedure. Another option would be online assistance. Recently I was able to value my industrial equipment on Online machinery pricing tool - industrial equipment appraisal - Valorexo, completely free of charge. Considering how digitalized everything is nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if there's something similar for generator connection! Cheers.
