"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."

"The installation today by Cory could not have gone better. He called before arrival, gave me a fair estimate before starting work, completed the work in no time flat (less than 2 hours) and was a complete pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable electrician who I easily conferred with about other electrical issues and I would gladly work with Cory in the future. Highly recommended!"

"Had a bad storm tree fell on the main power line to the house and no one would come out during this and Norton Electric came out with a generator and saved use. The made all the repairs and they did such a great job I had them install a back generator for me. I will not be calling anyone else going forward."

"My first time working with them and I will be using them for any other electrical projects I may have in the future! Professional, kind, worked quickly and efficiently, and even came back out to swap out one of my ceiling fans after install when it turned out the light wasn’t working as it should due to a malfunction of the ceiling fan hardware (had nothing to do with their work, the ceiling fan hardware itself that allowed the lights to dim was messed up and after I got a replacement fan and they installed it, it’s up and running beautifully!}. Wonderful service!! 10/10!"

"I hired them to upgrade an old fuse box to a standard 200 amp panel in an old house, plus reroute some wiring to the rooms and install some wall-mounted electric heaters. Everything went well, except I later discovered that three of the outlets in one room were routed to the incorrect circuit. Not a huge deal, but it does affect where I can plugin things like space heaters without tripping a breaker. Additionally, I found that one light switch had too many wires for the size box used which needed replaced with a bigger one - also not a big deal but it was a minor mistake that needed fixed when I went to have the light fixture installed, and it means the electrician made a second small mistake. Therefore I consider these two mistakes to add up to a 0.5 star reduction in the review. Overall, still a good job."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.
