"It was pretty rocky. At first. Several appoints made by Tri-State no one ever showed up.Crew showed up to install the Generator before the site survey and did not have necessary equipment or cooperation of Electric or gas company nor call before you dig had been notified. I called Tri-State to warn them the call before dig had never been preformed. They said they'd take care of it, did not happen until right before installation crew came back the second time. The first time they were here they could not have installed the generator even had they had all the parts because none of the utilities had been marked. Finally after about three months the Generac was installed and working. I had several questions that I could never get answered by calling Tri-State. One of the installation team had to come back a couple of weeks later to replace a damaged part and he answered all my questions. The guys who installed the Generac were great, the problem is your guys operation center and call center as far as I can see do not communicate very well. Anyway the generator has worked fine in several power outages this spring. I am happy right now but I live in dread something goes wrong and I have to call Tri-State for help."

"Juan was on time and very professional. Did an excellent job adding a sub panel for a generator and even correct a code violation that was found in the main box when he opened it up. The time estimate and price quot where both right on the money. He also did a great clean up job when the work was finished. Would recommend him to anyone needing some electrical work."

"Needed outside security lighting installed. Vendor was professional and arrived on time. Cost was perhaps a little on the high side but it was worth it to me. Would consider using this vendor again."

"Brian Kozara is a real professional. He spent 2 days evaluating our total electrical systems with pictures of items to be upgraded. He also submitted several quotes for us to select the project we wanted. After selecting our and date to be completed. he showed up on time and completed the project within the parameters he agreed to. He upgraded electrical boxes, major ground Wire, House electrical mast, and GFI outlets. Brian even uses a level to ensure all outlets are installed vertically level. He was very respectful of us and our home. on a scale of 1-5, I would rate him a 10. You can't go wrong with McCormick."

"So far Randy and Paige have been diligently working to get our garage door working correctly. They were willing to work in the freezing cold. They came right away after we discussed the problem. They seem to know what they are doing and expect to finish shortly. They finished the job today 2-22-2022.. They did an absolutely great job. Randy Holland and Paige Davies work well and efficiently together. The cost was reasonable. They were on time and there was no question as to when they would be on the job. They were knowledgeable and pleasant. They seem to have a broad variety of skills. We would not hesitate to hire them for future jobs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

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.

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.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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
