"This was no simple project, it was necessary for several fixtures to be moved and a cabinet to be made to fit. We are a Public Library and are only open a few days a week with specific hours. In addition to this project, he has installed a light fixture in the ceiling, an emergency light, a smoke alarm and added a bookcase. Neil was able to work around our hours and install smoothly without disturbance to patrons inside. The work area remained clean while he was working and he followed through the complete job in a timely manner. He knew what tools he would need and came prepared. I have him on the agenda for more work in the future. The range of his skills allows for the Library to utilize his business for multiple projects in a wide variety of areas. The cost was wonderfully in our budget and he is able to give quotes immediately. Love working with him."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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

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

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
