"Everyone at Bedwell Builders is great to work with. They show up when they say they will, they do a thorough job, and are very communicative. As a realtor, they’ve done several jobs for me, sometimes last minute. They’re dependable, reasonably priced and provide great service. Highly recommend Bedwell Builders!"

"David responded immediately to my request for electrical installation with a call to me to schedule a time to come to my house to see what electrical work I needed done and give me a quote. He was out to my house the next morning at 8:00am!!! I got other quotes from 4 other electrical companies and Busy Bee had the most competitive quote so I asked if he could come that Friday and he said yes and was there by 9:30am and did an excellent job…exactly what I’d asked for, done so well it even looks better than I’d hoped it would. He is licensed, insured, professional, yet personable and friendly. I also found him to be prompt and efficient, honest and trustworthy. I’ve referred him to a realtor that manages several properties for her to begin using Busy Bee to do all of the electrical work that needs to be done to the properties she manages. You can’t go wrong in hiring Busy Bee!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

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.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit
