"My outside left of house landscaping light would not come on after trying to install a replacement light. They determined my transformer was bad and gave the details of what model to purchase to replace it. Secondly I had to replace a salt generator for my pool but after **** so I couldn't get my pool lights to come back on. I tried everything I could think of but nothing worked. Luminous was very throw and determined it was my inside manual light switch that needed to be replaced. I would never thought about that since it was working fine before the salt generator was installed. I was very impressed with their expertise and thoroughness of their work. It was also helpful for me to go over all the steps that were taken in determining the resolution. I would use Luminous in a heartbeat again."

"I choose DSM Electric based on the reviews that I read here on Angie's List. I did not mention that I was an Angie's list member at the time of service. I can honestly say that Brad and Justin exceeded my expectations. I needed to have have an electrical outlet installed which, due to its location, necessitated cutting a hole in the drywall. Brad actually patched and speckled the hole and cleaned up the area. They were polite, professional and respective of our home. I will definitely be using DSM Electric again."

"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!"

"PG&E Review I hired PG&E to upgrade my electrical panel and rewire my 1960s home, which had cloth wire. David Iverson was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. I wasn’t aware of the rewire process, but he took the time to explain the process and walked me through the itemized quote. PG&E worked with my schedule and offered an extremely fair price for the scope of work. Deangelo was the guy managing the job on site. He was transparent and worked diligently. If you’re considering a rewire, look no further, PG&E will do the job right."

"Mister Sparky reps came to the house to provide a quote for wiring a portable generator to my house main breaker panel. They were on time and professional and seemed to know what they were doing. I did not hire them because the quote of $2900.00 (sub-panel) or $2400.00 (generator lock-out kit) for this work and switching out 5 circuit breakers was to high in my opinion. I am hiring another company that is listed on this website that was much less."

"I called Chance from Amperial Electric to get an EV charger installed and to upgrade the panel. Chance made sure I understand everything fully and went over everything in detail. He was on time and made sure everything is done with great quality and did not rush any work even tho it was a lot of work he had to do. He was very responsive even when I had a question prior to the install and after the install. It’s hard to find people like Chance who work on your project as they would on their own house, to make sure no steps are skipped and take their time to do it correctly instead of doing it just for money. I highly recommend Amperial Electric and Chance to anyone needing any kind of electrical work. You can trust him with your eyes closed because he will make sure work is done right and once again it’s very rare to find companies/contractors like that these days."

Generator Installation questions, answered by experts

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

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.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.
