"My project involved installing new track lighting on a 14 ft sloped ceiling in my living room. Gabriel came to my home to quote the project. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about what needed to be done, as far as, establishing a power source for the new lighting, the connections to the light switch, even how the joists ran in the ceiling in order to thread new wiring. The quote seemed fair, so we scheduled the project. The day of the install Gabriel arrived with an associate and a 12 ft ladder in hand. They were able to thread the new wiring needed and installed the new track lighting. Once it was secured to the ceiling Gabriel worked with me to get the 6 individual lights pointing in the desired directions to achieve the best effect. They also were both very careful in re-installing an existing ceiling chandelier that they had taken down in order to connect the power source for the new track lighting. They did a great job, and I am very pleased with the results!"

"Henry was great. He arrived promptly, explained the work thoroughly, and worked cleanly and efficiently. Even when one of the smart switches I wanted installed didnâ t work, he waited for me to run to the store to pick up a new one. Excellent customer service!"

"I had them install an outside outlet for a new generator, they also rewired, added breakers, and a interlock. They did a professional job and even cleaned up after themselves. I would hire again!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

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

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

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

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

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 some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
