"One of the nicest to deal with. Joe was amazing. Very thorough and very knowledgeable with his generator install. I would recommend him over and over and I do it everytime someone needs a generator installed and serviced. I would come back to him any day for another install in the future."

"We hired Alex to install can lights in our dining room. The price was extremely reasonable and they were able to fit us in within a week of when we received their quote. They arrived promptly, installed in a couple hours and had the room as clean as it was when they arrived. We plan on using Power Electric again to upgrade our fuse box and also to hang more lights. Very pleased with the overall experience. Highly recommend!"

"Ariel installed 50 amp inlet to my breaker box for portable generator. He completely cleaned up the breaker box. Separated rooms to different breakers so I can turn off rooms i don't use. He was extremely thorough in his work. Upon finishing installation, Ariel stayed on his own time and explained everything i needed to know about using generator and which breakers to use if i have a power outage. He was very knowledgeable and made sure i understood before he would leave. I highly recommend ACG based on my experience with his work ethic. Thank you Ariel!"

"Colin and his team were able to install a charger in my garage which required a long external run with many turns. They measured and quoted very clearly, and showed up with all supplies needed to do the job the next day. They were super professional and I would highly recommend them."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
