"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."

"Power went out on Christmas Eve and we never missed a beat! This was the best investment we ever made. The peace of mind having a backup generator system provides is truly immeasurable. And the process could not have been smoother. Each and every person whether office or field based was knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to deal with. Add to that, GenerX handled every single aspect of the installation. All I have to say is "Thank You.""

"Incredible! Brad showed up shortly after my call, assessed the damage, provided an emergency generator, and returned the next morning with a full crew. Courtesy Electric pulled a permit, repaired everything up to code, had everything inspected, and treated me like family from start to finish. I am 100% satisfied and would recommend Courtesy Electric without hesitation!"

"Very happy with the work Neil did with the new generator outlet he installed. We now have whole home generator capabilities when needed. He showed us how the setup works with our generator. Everything works as it should. His pricing was by far the best we were quoted. Will contact him again should we need any other electrical work done. Recommended!!"

"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."

Generator Installation 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.

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.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.
