"Sergio and his assistant installed an EV charger at my place, and they did an amazing job. I’m so glad I hired them. Their price was reasonable compared to other contractors. I highly recommend them and would definitely use their company again for any future jobs."

"This team installs and services solar installations which makes the quality of their work better. They see what breaks over time on other projects and bring this experience to their own. This is my third project with them. My first was servicing a short in my system caused by an oversight by a different installer who had gone out of business."

"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.

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.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

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.
