"I would highly recommend Steve from Ozark electric, and he is very reliable and professional, he is very helpful, and reasonably priced. I would to say he has done two jobs for me and both jobs were done very well and they were done above my expectations. In the future i will be hiring him again to do electrical works for me. Give him a five star 5 rating."

"RK Electric did an outstanding job on our main breaker for our chicken farm — the work was done efficiently, professionally, and in a very timely manner. We were so impressed with the quality and reliability that we’ve now hired him for our new home as well. He’s full of great suggestions, very knowledgeable, and always helpful throughout the process. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll definitely be using RK Electric for all of our electrical needs from now on."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.
