"Easy, easy, easy......... First, I loved the security of getting everything needed from one company. From choosing the right generator to itâ s installation and clean up, they did it all, from start to finish. I am one happy customer. I absolutely, 100% recommend them. Whatâ s more, just four hours after they left, our city had a blackout in a multiple block area. Our generator started up right on time and ran for about 3 hours. I canâ t tell you the relief we felt, (especially having air -conditioning), when it happened. Talk about timing. ð Thanks to Robert, Darrell and the crew at A-lectric. Without a doubt, you guys are the best of the best. ð ð »"

"Schedule was great - electrician came and checked what we wanted done - advised us on choice of light and showed back up on time and finished the job quickly and cleaned up everything. Could not have been more happy with everything. Would definitely call them again."

"Perfect! This company is always on time, returns calls and is there when they say they will be there! Harold was a great electrician and he was also a great teacher in that he instructed me how to manage my electrical needs using the equipment he installed. It’s a source of comfort to know that I have a company I can depend on !"

"Had to have a ceiling fan and light replaced; also light switches needed rearranging as well as a stacked switch installed. I called Power Surgez and spoke with Kenny (very kind and professional) on December 2nd around noon, and to my surprise, Kenny immediately assigned 2 electricians to come to my home early the following day (December 3, 2024). They completed all the work in approximately 2 hours. I love that Kenny not only dispatched his workers to my home, but he also communicated with me regularly. The 2 young men (John and Camden) who came to do the work were very polite, friendly and respectful. They were very attentive to what I needed done and patiently explained and answered my questions. They thoroughly cleaned up and left my house as they found it. I give Power Surgez, 5 stars along with the highest recommendation. I will definitely be calling Power Surgez for any future needs. Thank You for a Job Well Done."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.
