"Mr. Electric responded promptly, showed up at my convenience and thoroughly inspected my needs before giving me an extremely reasonable quote. My service person was Elijah, who was so very competent, professional and courteous. I felt totally comfortable having him in my home. He installed two electrical outlets outside my home and converted a motion sensor floodlight to a dusk to dawn one. He explained everything he was doing and made sure that I understood. I couldn't have asked for better service!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.
