"George Leach is top of the line contractor/electrician and I give my highest recommendation. I contracted George to install an EV charger for my new Cadillac EV, and I wanted top of the line. I wanted to make sure that my charger was going to handle the output that I wanted for the high amp Enphase charger that I wanted to install. I queried five contractors and only George was responsive, had follow up, and actually did his own background to make sure that what I wanted to do was going to work. He did the extra work to investigate my panel to ensure that my infrastructure could accommodate the extra load. As a home owner, I could tell immediately I was in good hands. I had cheaper options--but I dismissed those out of hand because of poor attitudes, service, follow-up, and shortcut takers. George Leach is none of those things. Not only does George take the extra time to think through his work, when he meets an obstacle, he takes the time to work through it and does the quality job. We have zero worry with regard to the quality of the install of the panel and the charger. Can't recommend George any more highly. I wish I could, cuz he's also a sweetheart. Hiring George was a good decision. Thank you, George!!!!"

"Anthony did a great job and was very thorough and professional. He did a great job in explaining how my antenna system worked and said he was just a phone call away if I had any questions. I would hire him again for any other projects I may have. Thank you for being so thoughtful and professional."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
