"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

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

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 are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
