"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!"

"If you're looking for someone who is honest, dependable, and does quality work, I highly recommend Rodney! He has completed several projects around my home, including replacing all of my electrical outlets, installing light fixtures, and putting up ceiling fans. Rodney takes pride in his work, pays attention to detail, and knows what he's doing when it comes to electrical work and home improvement projects. If you want the job done right the first time, give Rodney a call. Whether it's a project inside your home or outside, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thank you, Rodney, for always doing such a great job!"

"Keith Hughes and crew exceeded expectations with their install of our Generac whole house generator. Their attention to detail was exemplary and Keith spent as much time in the planning of the size, location, wiring, etc of the unit as he and his crew did with the actual install...which turned out to be perfect. He is knowledgeable about the product and made certain we were thoroughly educated about how it worked and how to take care of it. He also approached the job as a partnership between Advanced Generator and the homeowner - he was punctual and would always contact us in advance if there was any unexpected change in the schedule. We received other estimates that included some "big-name" companies, but they didn't seem to care whether or not they got our business. Advanced Generator's price was very fair in comparison, but we were also made to feel valued as customers. Would highly recommend him to anyone considering a backup generator or, for that matter, other household electrical work (which we had him do once we saw the good quality of his work)."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

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

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. 

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
