"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."

"We first called Cawiamca to see if they could repair our old split system. The guys cane out the same day. Unfortunately, the old system is was quite obsolete and it just wasn't worth repairing. Ron got us a quote on a new system immediately. Within a few days we had a whole new system installed! Price was reasonable, the guys all were pleasant and professional. We are way more than pleased with the outcome! And we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cawiamca to anyone!"

"I had a small electrical fire on a Saturday from out dated cloth wire. These guys showed up got it fixed to where my house was safe and came back on a Sunday to get it 100 percent done rewiring my out door lights for my front door. Amazing professional work. They came back a little later and re wiring my entire house for me new panel new wires handled the permit. I can’t say enough about their work and professionalism I have no issue leaving them a key to work while I’m not home. Again amazing quality work"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
