"Solid group of people. Arizona Backup Power came to my rescue where dishonest electrical contractor screwed up the solar as well as the generator install on my home. It was wired poorly and incorrectly, and did not work. The guy who installed it was no show no call. I called few other contractors in Scottsdale and they also had zero interest in helping me. Finally, when I called Arizona Backup Power, they came over to my home, and they had it all corrected for me. I am really thankful to them!"

"David quoted us a great price for the install. Dustin came out a few days later and did a great looking install and even mounted my charging unit on the wall for us. I recommend Andrew's Electrical."

"The estimate/receipt did not have a header name/number or stamp. I had to track them down by payment history and Home Advisor in order to seek future hire. Fully satisfied with the plug replacement and the electrician who did the work. UPDATE 12/28/2020: Generator - Install -Second hire. The first hire was to replace a plug that was smoldering black. It did not trigger the very old breakers. The household breakers were replaced along with the replacement of old smoke detectors. Excellent service. They showed up on time. The electrician originally scheduled called out sick, so another electrician came out to do the work. I had arranged the day off work for this and was thrilled that everything went according to plan and the work was able to be completed. They were extremely polite and friendly, completed the work, and everything seems to be going very well. I highly recommend them!"

If you’re looking for high-quality, reliable electrical work, I’d love to put in a bid for your project. Having gone through an accredited electrical apprenticeship, I take pride in doing things safely, cleanly, and strictly to code. I have extensive hands-on experience with everything from precise conduit fabrication and clean panel terminations to heavy-duty installations.\n​Whether you need new ceiling fans or light fixtures installed, a dedicated circuit pulled for an electric car charger, or underground direct burial work for outdoor power, I do the math and get it done right the first time. Feel free to reach out to discuss what you need done and get a fair, honest quote!

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

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

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

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

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

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

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.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

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.
