"Installed today. Impressive professional team, both at my home and in their office. They got the install done in four hours, including my tutorial. GenerX has some of the friendliest, most responsive people I've ever dealt with. I may never need a backup generator, but with all of the potential threats to our electrical grid, having it is a secure feeling and adds value to my home."

"The team of Bill, Harry and Xavier with Space Coast Electric were absolutely the best contractor that we have worked with in a very long time. From the first visit with Bill detailing what we needed done all the way through the generator installation (They sub-contracted the LP Gas portion) everything went very well considering that MANY people were involved. Now, Thanks to them we have peace of mind should a power outage occur. The second job went very well too!!-They ran power to our 12x30 detached garage AND installed a dedicated 50amp service for our RV so we can plug IT in and run the a/c to keep the humidity down!! All in all we are very pleased with all phases of both jobs that were done, HIGHLY recommend the guys at Space Coast Electric!"

"Eric Knopsnyder totally exceeded my expection. He arrived punctually as agreed, worked fast and efficiently to install my new Generac GP 17,500, tested it, teached me how to operate it, all of that in the span of a couple of hours. After leaving, he even called me to remind me to register the generator at the manufacturer web site to ensure a valid/timely warranty. In-Phase was not the cheapest bidder for my project, but it was certainly the best I could find. Now, my home will be fully powered in case of an outage. Living in Florida amid a hurricane season, that's a big relief."

Customers say: Quality work

"I am very pleased with the work Paul did rewiring my electrical panel. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes a great deal of pride in his work. He was very good at communicating his schedule and always showed up exactly when he said he would. The more information he shared with me (he explains every step he takes in the process), the more confident I felt in his work. Always cleaned up after himself too. I did some research about cost and everything he told me was spot on. His pricing and charging policy is beyond fair. I recommend him highly and will call him for any of my future electrical work or just advise on the subject. Additionally, he noticed I had as spot for a smoke detector in an inconvenient place in my house. He volunteered to get one for me that included a carbon monoxide sensor and installed it for me. Great job!"

Generator Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.

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