"We hired Cameron to install three ceiling fans in rooms that did not have existing overhead lighting. He was very professional and courteous, and he did a great job with the installation. From the estimate to the finished job, we were impressed with Cameron's expertise. The estimate we received was accurate with the final cost which was very competitive and reasonable for the work performed. We would highly recommend Ross Electrical Contracting and would hire him again."

"Tom was great at installing my RV outlet. Out of the 3 different quotes I received, he was able to get it done without trying to talk me into more expensive options. He was also accommodating with my somewhat busy schedule and very responsive throughout the install planning process. I would highly recommend Productive Electric."

"Precision installed my water heater two years ago. When I had my furnace serviced, the technician checked the pressure on the water heater and it was very high, a component had failed. A plumber from Precision came out and replaced the defective part since it was under warranty. He suspected that a water pressure regulator may have to be installed but when he checked the water pressure coming into the house, it was in the acceptable range. He could have just as easily told me I needed this and it would have cost me $600 but Jacob was an honest man. I am so impressed with his integrity. I will use them again in the future for sure. The replacement of the defective part didn't cost me anything. Thank you Precision for being an honest company."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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.
