We are the experts in the field of Whole Home Generator Sales and Installation, with over 20 years of experience in the game. We provide turn-key installation by licensed professionals - 24 hour emergency service - Remote Monitoring - Long term maintenance and service by factory trained technicians.

"They initially contacted me via email ready to make a visit for the install. Said that they could do the project no problem. Then when they realized I wouldn’t be buying a generator from them, which I had TOLD them upfront, they canceled on me. That is not an acceptable way to do business. They should simply state that they only install generators that they sell and not waste my time."

He diagnosed the problem, ran to town to get a new part, and had it installed and up-and-running in less than 2 hours, all w/o breaking the bank. He was friendly, professional, and honest."

"I would steer clear. 1. Pay with check discount is not guaranteed. We had a service done in mid-February, and were mistakenly charged the full amount, even though we were told we would receive a 3% discount. We were then told they would mail a check. No luck. Debbie has my Zelle QR code and info and still refuses to refund the overcharge. She would rather argue than honor her discount. 2. Does not stand behind their "100% Money-Back Satisfaction Guarantee on Service." We had an error code on our furnace. Tech came out and diagnosed as a bad inducer. We believed him and purchased a new one. They installed it right away and also did an inspection. Total was about $1100. Steep, but not bad since the tech said that should get us a few more years on an 18 y.o. furnace. The inspection went well and we were happy. Next day the error code was back. Different tech came out and diagnosed as a control board issues. $900 to fix. Ouch. He was at the house for a long time to do the diag. After asking for detailed information, Debbie refused to give any insights and lied to us about not being charged any mark up on the inducer. At this point I was definitely not satisfied! The more questions I asked to get to the truth, the more Debbie blamed us for the age of our furnace. I asked for a refund of the service and told her she could come get the part once we received the refund. This was because we STILL had not gotten the check discount she promised us! The part was charged at $600+ so the remaining amount for the service is $475 which includes the inspection that failed to find the control board issue. That and the check discount comes to $500. on a nearly $1100 bill. But Debbie would rather blame us for asking questions and not being grateful for the time they spent NOT FIXING THE ISSUE! Debbie lied to me when she said she would give the refund and come get the inducer. She has gone back on her word and refuses to make it right according to her own posted "promise." Debbie can send the refund amount through Zelle or bring a check when she picks up the inducer to resolve this issue. The BBB has now directed me to the IL Attorney General."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

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.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.
