"When it comes to electrical work, Gadsden Electrical is an absolute standout. Under Mikes exceptional guidance, the team, including Aubrey, Kyle, and Fred, worked wonders on my Lee panel light installation in both my living and bedroom. Their knowledge and dedication are truly unmatched, and they handled the job with unparalleled skill and professionalism. Not only did they deliver quality work, but they also left my home spotless, showing great respect for my space. With fair and competitive pricing, Gadsden Electrical has proven that they are the only choice when it comes to electrical needs. I could not be happier with their service and will undoubtedly turn to them for any future electrical projects - they are simply in a league of their own."

Customers say: Quality work

"I could not be happier with this company. After Hurricane Sally I had some trees taken down and a limb was dropped onto the service line which bent the mast. I had gotten 3 other estimates when Coles called. John came by to look and after seeing the damage determined that I needed an upgrade as the old box was no longer to code. He figured what he could do the job for. Turns out his price is 35-50% LOWER than the other three and he got the job done in 3 hours! He is pleasant to be around and the receptionist was nice as could be. I would highly recommend them for any electrical needs."

Generator Installation questions, answered by experts

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

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. 

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.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.
