Hello, my name is Jose Miranda. I am a 16 year experienced electrician, 13 of those years I spent in new construction.

As Forman I kept all work on schedule, dealt with inspections, ordered material for 3 job sites, edited time cards, Etc. 3 years of the 16 I spent helping customers like yourself in bringing their ideas to life, such as remodeling, recessed light installations, ceiling fan installation, outlet installation, EV charger installation, exhaust fan installation, panel swap, Christmas lights installation, generator, transfer switch, deck lighting, etc. My main focus is customer service and quality work. All homes are treated as Id want my home to be treated. In doing so all shortcuts are avoided. All projects matter to my team and I, The biggest project is as important to us as the smallest. I promise competitive prices with the best quality, as well as 90 day warranty on anything we touch. Give us a try!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.
