"We hired him from Angi?s List to install a new quad outlet in the garage. Told me he would be here at 10:00 last Saturday morning. Finally arrived at 10:30. I had told him on the phone the job would involve going into the attic, but he had no ladder, glad I had a small one. Found a couple of other small jobs. Total bill for little over 2 hours labor and supplies was over $400. Then I find out the next day the outlet didn?t work, Had to contact him to come back out, which he couldn?t do for a week and then charged me another $150 (I?m fine with paying for the supplies) but I have a problem with paying labor for him to fix something that I thought I paid for the previous week. All in all, just for a new outlet I paid $460. $310 for the first job (the balance was for the other items I asked him to look at) and $150 for the return trip. "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.

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.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
