"Actually, Power and Control Installations did much more than install electrical switches, outlets and fixtures. They installed a new 20 amp breaker, and ran wiring 60 feet underground to my new shed. The electrician they sent out was very professional, courteous, and answered all my questions. The work was completed to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend this company to others."

"Initial guys on the job said they couldn't do it, but main office was very responsive and they sent another guy out, and he helped the other guys get the job done pretty easily. I definitely appreciate when a main office can step up like this and not simply let guys walk away. They got it done!"

"Totally happy. Just had my Generator hook-up today and everything went well. I would recommend them. Communication was excellent from the time I asked for a quote. They were on time that day for the quote and showed up on time for each faze of the installation. They left the work area as clean as when they found them. Totally Happy."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
