"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."

"They did a great job! I had 3 outlets in my house that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. Unlike a prior electrician I hired who told me "there was nothing they could do"... the team at Broad Ripple Electric took the time to investigate the situation, and find the source of the problems, and fixed the issues. They also were able to update my antique doorbell - they installed a new working doorbell while retaining many of the antique parts (for aesthetics) to the old doorbell. They were more than happy to explain to me what the problems were and they were able to come up with solutions that were affordable and of quality. It's clear they are very knowledgeable, and they also cleaned up after their work and were respectful of my house, my time and my loud barking dog!"

"These guys were really great. Easy to deal with. Good products. Professional installation. Great follow up. I had gotten a coupon for an AC tuneup from another company at Home Depot. During the tune up they told us we needed a complete new system. He quoted us a price of almost $10,000. So I went to Costco, which has a local partner for HVAC. Surprisingly, they proposed a bigger, even more expensive system for $11,000. I was pretty frustrated. So I went on here, looked for the highest rated HVAC companies and found the great reviews for Complete Comfort. They lived up to the hype. They suggested a system that was similar to the other two proposals but MUCH cheaper at $7,000. Their guys came out in a rainstorm and worked their butts off all day. The new system is GREAT! Then after about a week we noticed a banging noise when it came on. We called and they came right out. They made an alteration that fixed the problem at no additional cost. It was such a great experience working with them all the way around."

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. 

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. 

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

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.

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.
