"Generx Generators was outstanding in communication and installation of our home standby generator. Their professionalism far exceeds, not only their line of work, but most other contractors as well. They take care of everything from start to finish. Without hesitation, I recommend them to anyone looking to add a generator to their home. They are truly the best at what they do."

"Efficient, punctual, clean. I changed location of outlet for my rv at the last minute. The electrician was very professional - not even a hint of frustration with me even though it was over 95 degrees out and now he would have to go in the attic."

"The work went very well, A+. New home meter panel and service entry panel with generator transfer switch were selected, ran by me for approval; then installed with no issues. Scheduling was flexible, the work was excellent, and price was very competitive compared to 2 other quotes I received. I will hire 'In Phaze Electric' again for any electrical needs."

"Mike came to provide an estimate, ask a lot of great questions, next day I received an email with detailed estimate on what would be done. We set up a date and we're ready to go. Joel showed up on time to start, went over exactly what was going to be done, and than proceeded to start work. Very knowledgable young man. When completed he simulated a power loss and what steps were needed to transfer power from our generator to our selected circuits. Had us perform the steps and proceeded to test and make sure everything worked as planned. We are now ready for the next hurricane. One final note, Joel pre wired the transfer switch for future growth of needed circuits and a larger generator. I very nice finishing touch, planning for the future if required."

"Bill gave me a sight unseen quote for a $1,000.00 even because they replace so many of these old defective and hazardous FPE panels. He had the permit pulled within 3 days and had his installer out 2 days later on a Saturday no less. I already have more work for them to do and wont hesitate to recommend them!"

Generator Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
