"The generator is a piece of junk. So is the shabby shed that was built around it. The project has been going on for more than two months now the work is not finished and the generator does not work. I would not dare to use it anyway, that's how bad it all looks. The workers that were brought in to help are not licensed from what I heard. I paid $3000 as a first payment. The total price would be $9665. I am at a point now that I contacted other electricians to get this project done. I still think that Chris, the electrician, had good intentions but that does not make the generator useful. I probably even have to pay to get it hauled away. Overall it was a very bad experience."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

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

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.
