Explained everything thoroughly and gave helpful suggestions as this was my first experience getting a generator to power the house. Very reasonable pricing.

"Tylor was quick to respond to my inquiry and very accommodating to fix my problem as soon as he could. His expertise was shown as he diagnosed the possible issue over the phone and he had it fixed in no time once he arrived. He even fixed a lesser issue for no extra charge. I found his rates exceptional, and he will always be my first call for any of my future electrical issues."

"I highly recommend him for any electrical work! He has completed several projects at my home and has done a phenomenal job every time. He installed recessed lighting in three bedrooms and my bathrooms, as well as completed an outdoor project that required running new electrical wiring. His work is always professional, clean, and done right. He is extremely reliable, responsive, always shows up on time, and is willing to travel wherever the job is. His pricing is also very reasonable and economical for the quality of work he provides. On top of being a great electrician, he is a genuinely great person to work with. I will definitely continue using him for future projects and highly recommend him!"

"Highly recommend!! Peter was very professional and easy to work with. Came when he said he would and finished the job on time. He also returned after the installation was complete to make certain furnace was running well and to install a new CO2 monitor when he noticed mine was outdated."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

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.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.
