"Installed today. Impressive professional team, both at my home and in their office. They got the install done in four hours, including my tutorial. GenerX has some of the friendliest, most responsive people I've ever dealt with. I may never need a backup generator, but with all of the potential threats to our electrical grid, having it is a secure feeling and adds value to my home."

"Job was finished and it looks good! Quoted me over the phone around $450 including 10 feet to install a 240 V outlet so I hired him on the spot but total wound up being $600 after he finished. Might have misunderstood his quote over the phone and if it’s my fault then my apologies just sharing so everyone else can know to obtain a more specific quote for their projects before starting work."

"The team that came to install my 7 ceiling fans, Carlos and Barry, did a great job. Very efficient. There had been a little confusion about scheduling the appointment, they actually showed up a day early. That was okay as I could still have them do the install. Will contact Ramtech for additional electrical work at my home."

"This project was setting up and operating a 12kw portable generator. I want to give customer service a 6. I have no portable generator experience but the install crew was patient, answered my questions, and gave very good instructions on setting up and operating the thing."

"This is a highly professional father and daughter team ; Tod and Eve that arrived on time and performed wonderfully. I'm well pleased with the install that was done in a timely manner. The atmosphere created was warm and friendly while they worked. Everything was explained to me with an offer to call or email if I needed any help at any time. Everything was left clean and tidy! I would recommend First Florida Security, LLC"

Generator Installation 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 natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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.
