"The ladies at the office were courteous and professional. Jennifer sent a picture of the person who would be coming to my home; Brad Johnson a Senior Service Technician! I only needed an inspection of my old furnace that was making a strange noise and taking a long time to kick on. He checked it thoroughly, reassured me that it was working, and vacuumed it out. He took the time to answer all my questions; he was friendly. The quirks of the furnace were just 'the nature of the beast,' (my add.). I found a company who's people that I can trust! It was worth every bit of money I paid. They all earned it! Thank you."

"The team arrived as scheduled. Alex & Tyler worked well as a team. They installed ceiling fans which we had purchased ahead of time. They had to put in fan boxes for all 3. Also we had to replace 2 bathroom fans. They supplied one of those. Lastly we needed outlets on our porch. They were able to get all this done in about half a day. We were super impressed with the ease of setting up the assessment, scheduling the work and completion of the job. The prices fit our budget. We were not pressured into additional work. In the future we are planning more upgrades around our place and we will be calling Mr Electric again. Than you Alex & Tyler for doing such a great job."

Generator Install 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.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

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.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

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