"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."

"Very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and on time--they did a visit to see what the project entailed, then came back with parts to do the job. Steve explained everything to me and offered a couple of options to connect power. I will definitely call him first when I have the next project and would recommend his company to anyone needing electrical help."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two.
