"Sergio did a fantastic job! Very happy with the clean install of my tier 2 charger and he added a plug down below my panel. Would recommend for any sort of EV charging installs! Clear communicator, showed up when he said he would and his services were well-priced!"

"Highly Recommended! We have hired Zero Electric to do several jobs at our apartment complex including installing a generator, EV chargers, new panel, and even installing recessed lighting in the units. They handled all aspects of the projects and had top notch communication throughout. The team has always been quick and professional. We will continue using Zero Electric for our electrical needs."

"The electricians installed two outlets and one LED light fixture in a very professional manner. They provided good advice and suggested that I consider rejunvenating my electrical panel as my home is now 26 years old without pressuring me to have it done immediately. I will definitely consider Trout Electric when I decide to have it done."

"They are knowledgeable and installed the car charging station in my garage. I had compared with other companies who seemed to be cutting corners, and I felt McKee was doing things the right way so I chose them. His communication was good, he was on time, and followed through on what he said he would do. Good, clean, and professional. I intend to have him back out for my next electrical project."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

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.

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.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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