"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."

Customers say: True professional

"Saved me the trouble of opening dry walls and more major repairs as he had identified a way to do the project that others had not. Able to trouble shoot one area of the house that had no outlets working that required very good understanding of building codes and knowledge of potential root causes Very clean on the work he did and had already recommended to a friend who was also very happy with the work on installing security cameras on his property"

"William Burden is the third generation owner of WBLightningRods and his company has been in business since 1950. He is very courteous, professional, was on time, and has a very good crew. William was present for the entire installation. We chose the copper system. We are glad for the peace of mind a lightning rod system will provide."

"Blue Wave Electric LLC recently completed the electrical portion of the construction of our new home. Our builder had issues causing his electrician to drop the project with 85% completion! Thus, we had a very difficult time finding another electrician to Complete the project and take over the permits. Rich, the Blue Wave owner, took on the job and greatly exceeded all our expectations. However, from the initial consultation to the final inspection, Rich and team were professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. They clearly explained the work that needed to be done, provided a fair and honest quote, dealt with town compliance, inspections and completed the work on time and with great care. What truly impressed us was their willingness to go above and beyond, ensuring everything was perfect while keeping us informed throughout the entire process. We are extremely satisfied and would confidently recommend Blue Wave Electric LLC to anyone who needs electrical services.""

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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

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. 

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
