"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."

"Will definitely use them again. Gary the owner came out to do the work as his electrician was out sick today. He was very informative and he even helped me get my generator running which I purchased on my own separately. They stuck around to test out the generator and make sure everything was running in the house that I wanted. Good people."

"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."

"What an excellent team of employees they have. They had to redo our electrical box, install electrical outlets, hang fans and run electric to our up stairs. Very professional company! We had another company to do it the first time and Freedom came in and redid it all. Their service is outstanding!"

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

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. 

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.

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.
