"10 yr old Generac GP6500E wouldn’t start. Called around and many want to upsell to permanent. Found Franks and what a delight. Honest, down to earth, affordable for senior. Showed up on time. Changed oil, spark plug. Pulled carburetor and found it dirty and fouled. Got used one from his shop(same day) and installed. Gen started right up on one or two pulls. Battery was dead but showed us how to replace. Highly recommend Frank’s Generator."

"They came out in the middle of a storm and promptly hooked the generator to my panel. While I thought I’d be running extension cords to my appliances it turned out that the whole house was up and running. I wish I had done this earlier. I would recommend MGT for any electrical needs. I will surely use them again."

"Incredible experience. Matt and Miseal came to my 1960s era condo in rural CT to do an assessment of what I wanted. Matt (a veritable genius) recommended in order to save time (labor $) and to help bring my aging condo into the 20th century, to install the new Lutron Caseta system. Turns out, it’s Alexa, Google, and Apple compatible, in addition to just being wireless. Over the decades, Ive wired outlets, switches, ceiling fans, and fixtures of all types many, many times. This system is light years ahead of “old school”. With a simple Echo Dot or Echo Show and the affordably priced Caseta bridge, even my adult son could easily control my lighting and ceiling fans from his house or anywhere in the world. Incredulous! This system actually becomes part of your environment, so to speak. Anyhow, I got the quote a day or so later from Equipment Unlimited and was “dead nuts” right where I thought it would be and thought was reasonable. 1 week later, everything is done, working perfectly, not a single glitch. Again… incredulous. Matt and Miseal were neat and tidy, which was great because their working with me there did not ignite my OCD. Cleaned and used a tarp as they went from one area to another. If you’re looking to electrically update your home, consider yourself freaking lucky if you get Matt and Miseal. Personable, clean, on time, reasonable and yes, even a sense of humor; a rarity among electricians. EXCELLENT JOB, Matt and Miseal from Equipment Unlimited. You made this old swamp yankee a very happy guy."

"Installed the bathroom fan/light which wasn’t super easy, they had to crawl through insulation in the attic. Also changed out the broken switch on the outlet while they were there which was nice. Not terribly pricey"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

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

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

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

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two.
