"It is weeks like this that make me so happy to have had Fitch Electric install a generator at my house. I had them install an EV Generator a few months ago and bit the bullet for the generator knowing this summer would be HOT and PGE would be shutting us down as usual. I cannot say enough great things about Fitch Electric https://fitchelectricinc.com/ They are professional, reasonably priced and are on-time and on budget. Thanks Lucas and your team at Fitch Electric 5 out of 5 star recommend ! I only said 4.5/5 on the value only because it's expensive regardless so this isnt a knock on Fitch just the whole generator world and PGE in general. I wish we didn't have to do this but in these times over the last several years WE KNOW that PGE will be shutting off power and this is just what we have to do. I love Fitch! Will use them again 100% in the future."

"Did a great job, even corrected some code violations that were present when we moved in. Installed multiple 110v, 230v single phase, 230v 3 phase and 480v 3phase circuits, wired a paint booth, Tumbler unit, overhead crane systems, and even did some repairs on a complicated piece of machinery that wasn’t working. Great guys work hard no excuses. They get the job done plain and simple. I had used them twice because they were that reliable."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

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.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.
