"Austin and his team have been wonderful to work with. We had extensive experience with them after our generator was struck by lightning. Austin was incredibly professional and reliable. He wrote letters to our insurance and helped us get our new generator covered he was very honest and knowledgeable. He patiently handled all the back and forth paperwork with the insurance, helped us pick a new generator and just gave us great advice and his prices were very reasonable. He even helped us get the new generator installed quickly before our new baby was born during hurricane season. I am so grateful we found him and highly recommend him and his team."

"Danilo and his paint crew are amazing! From the beginning, he was super responsive and let me know everything that was happening every step of the way. My job took about 4 days; each day I was contacted regarding start/end time, and what was being completed each day. The team also cleaned up each day and kept the work space neat and tidy. The finished product is beautiful! I would highly recommend this crew for any jobs and will be contacting them again for more work!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

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.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.
