"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

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
