"Actually, Power and Control Installations did much more than install electrical switches, outlets and fixtures. They installed a new 20 amp breaker, and ran wiring 60 feet underground to my new shed. The electrician they sent out was very professional, courteous, and answered all my questions. The work was completed to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend this company to others."

"Chris Ayarza came in and completed the job perfectly, even helped with assisting on a couple electrical jobs I had planned to take on myself. When the job was completed, I noticed the AC stopped blowing cold air but they came in next day to finish up with labeling our new panel and also spent some time to fix the issue. Overall great experience and learned some new tricks too"

"I'm blown away by the fantastic service. I was trying to get ready for Hurricane Matthew and needed a generator outlet installed. Called and got a call back immediately. Ken was great to work with, installed the outlet while I had to head out of town. I was extremely worried about the hurricane and Ken's was so helpful that I knew we'd have what we needed when the storm hit. He even checked our old cable and suggested that we buy a new one, stayed on the phone with my wife to make sure the right one was ordered. I can't say thank you enough. This is why you deal with highly reputable local companies, they go the extra mile. Highly recommend them without reservation."

Generator Install 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.

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

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. 

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. 

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.
