"Brian installed the panel and ran wiring at our hunting cabin. He did a great job, and was a a good sport about it being such a remote location. More recently, our lights and appliances were not working correctly. I called him and he was at our home in under 90 minutes, made sure everything was okay on our end, and stayed with me until the electric company arrived to fix the power lines outside our home. I definitely would recommend this company! They are the best!"

"With more than 25 years of living in Fort Smith and having a variety of electrical issues to address on 10 properties during that time, I can positively say that Quentin and Good Boy Electric are my absolute 1ST CHOICE to call when I need ANY electrical work done! Every time I have used Good Boy Electric has been such a pleasant experience. They are prompt, respectful, honest and fair in their pricing, very competent and the group as a whole has a great work ethic. My last job Quentin did was literally a big mess to fix, due to previous electrical contractors poor workmanship but Quentin and his team at Good Boy came in and quickly put everything in good order. I can't thank Good Boy Electric enough for their top notch service! They are the BEST!"

"Highlights: Provided quote up front Provided a time line for completion Supplied the materials and labor Tweaked projects as my interested changed Highly reputable - did what they promised to do Trustworthy - earned my trust early and never caused me to doubt them; didn't even have to be home while they worked Clean freaks - they laid drop cloths along their walking paths and draped off rooms that are to be kept from construction dust. Turnkey jobs including electricians, plumbers, drywallers, floor layers Didn't expect payment until the job was complete In short, we contacted ACDC for a remodel quote for our kitchen and laundry room. This was a full gut job taken to the studs and slab. We have a chef's kitchen now with potfiller at the stove, counter depth frig, travertine floors and more. Once the ACDC team got started and helped me brainstorm ideas, my project grew to include a new living room mantel. We then added the 2 bathrooms to the list. This was our first project. It went well. As road bumps came up, they helped me navigate the choices. Our second project was a concrete pad and with a gas-powered generator. They demo'd the area, poured a new pad and installed the generator. Our third project was to repair termite damage to a wall in a bedroom. After Orkin treated and cleared it for rebuild, ACDC's crew removed all damaged areas, reconstructed the walls, textured the walls and painted. It's better than new! Our fourth project just finished. We replaced a sewer line under our home. Once the line was replaced and the new slab poured, we installed new flooring in the the room and adjacent hallways. The ACDC crew did a wonderful job laying travertine to match the pattern we used during the kitchen reno. For good measure, we added new baseboards. Without a doubt, my next remodel project will go to ACDC."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

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.

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.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.
