"I recently had an electrical home inspection performed by Jimenez electrical contractors, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. The inspector was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain every detail and provided valuable insights into the electrical system of my home. The scheduling was smooth and convenient. They also arrived on a timely manner. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and comprehensive electrical home inspection. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

"The technicians were friendly and knowledgeable, but the poor customer service we experienced from the office keeps me from recommending this company. After mailing in the required 50% down, no contact was received from the company. We had to call and confirm our check was received and ask to be put on their installation schedule. The job was not completed on the initial visit due to lack of communication/miscommunication with the power company. Again, no one from Power Services contacted us to reschedule; when we called again to have the job completed, we were given a date of two weeks out. Dissatisfied with that, I asked to speak with company president Robert McMahon (who originally sold us the generator), and it took multiple calls and unanswered messages before I heard back from him. On the second installation attempt, the technician advised that he didn't have the right monitor for the generator, and thus a third visit would be necessary. That same day, we received a call from Mr. McMahon questioning why we did not give the technician payment for the remaining balance. We advised him that payment would be made as originally agreed-when the job was satisfactorily complete. The next week, the monitor was installed and the job finally completed."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

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.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.
