"These guys were top notch; very fair rate for installing a 220v outlet in my garage. They came on the weekend and did the work in less than an hour. Would definitely recommend R&L Power to anyone looking for quality electricians."

"I was overly impressed with the work and professionalism of Nick and his team at Specialty Product Installers. I initially needed to update my breaker panel to bring my home up to code and then also wanted the addition of a transfer switch for a generator. I received several quotes from other electricians and Specialty Product Installers was the only one that came in at an affordable and reasonable rate. Literally half of what much of their competition was charging. They also didn't try to sell me more than I needed or asked for. With that price came professionalism and quality that I have rarely found with many other contractors. Once permitting was through, Nick and Jonathan were out that same week and arrived precisely when they said they would to get started. The whole job was done in under 9 hours and the work was superb. Inspector came out a few days later and everything was approved on the first inspection. Hassle free. I have not had the best track record with contractors I've hired in the past but I will most definitely be reaching out to Specialty Product Installers again for any future electrical needs and will recommend them to anyone who needs Grade A work done for an affordable rate. Thank you guys!"

"Electrician provided excellent service, told me what he was going to do, listen to Meyer concern regarding the location of the outlet, and cleaned up upon completion of the work. Afterwards he demonstrated how the placement of the outlet allowed me to reach my EV without any issue."

"Excellent work performed by Mr. Dwight Edwards at Essential Power. Dwight completed a Generator Transfer switch and Gen Inlet Installation. He also tested my generator system to ensure it operates per the specification. He did an excellent job. I find honest, a very knowledgeable masters electrician and reasonable with his estimate. Would highly recommend Essential Power for electrical work. Thank you!"

"I hired Ben to install a generator plug and a few misc electrical duties. He was very professional, timely, and the work is unmatched. During one of the electrical outlet installs he brought parts of my home up to code which I greatly appreciate. He talked me through the different options on what he recommended and I trusted his judgment-luckily everything worked out perfectly. I highly recommend this young man and itâ s always nice hiring small American business."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

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.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
