"We are part way through the process of installation of a Backup home generator. Rob provided excellent information at the first visit. He discussed various options for our home, and the process made me very confident about the decisions we made."

"Ted and Robert arrived, got right t to it and within a few hours we had 2 ceiling fans installed, one which had no existing light so it was a more involved project. They were professional and stuck to their original quote! To say we are impressed is an understatement. We strongly recommend using Connole Electric."

"Earlier today, I searched on Google for an electrician in the Farmington / Unionville CT area and IES came up with high ratings. I quickly called and Greg the owner picked up. He had a pretty packed day but knowing my issue where it impacted my furnace which meant no heat, he understood the urgency and said, he would be willing to stop by in route to his big job today. Within 30 mins or less, he was at my house and resolved my issue quickly. I plan to hire Greg for additional work as adding additional outlets in my garage and helping with a generator hookup. He def earned my business and I highly recommend him. I would like to wrap up this review with - e's a family man, very professional, reputable, and local - happy I came across his company earlier today!"

"Jeremy is an incredibly efficient, kind, and hugely capable electrician. He spent the day at our house with his helpers installing a generator, and he dealt with every single problem that came up cheerfully and efficiently. I would highly recommend him to anyone for any size job. He makes himself available for any problems and is just overall a terrific person, who is extremely good at what does."

"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."

"I have used Supreme Electric for a variety of electrical services for over 2 years â replacing outlets to support new wall A/C units, replacing a damaged outlet, replacing a light fixture, upgrading my circuit panel and most recently installing a bathroom ventilation fan another electrician said could not be done. I was also provided assistance finding a carpenter to vent the fan out of my attic and I am considering future installation of a generator. Michael is always pleasant, professional and respectful and the quality of work is excellent. He explains exactly what is needed, prices are reasonable, he communicates clearly and promptly as work is being planned and he is always on time for scheduled work. I highly recommend Supreme Electric. It is always a pleasure to work with Michael and I personally will only be using Supreme Electric for any future electrical work I need to have done. Thank you Michael!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

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.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

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. 

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.
