"I chose Optimize because of the positive feedback and strong recommendations I read in the reviews. I was not disappointed! Matthew, Craig and his work crew could not have been more professional and responsive. They did a great job on the installation of my stand-by generator and the price was very reasonable. I am strongly recommending Optimize to any of my friends or family that need any of the services they provide."

"This work was beyond my expectations in every category. The owner, Brandon, is a really nice guy that gave us a fair and competitive quote and supervised all the work, which was done by a number of specially qualified teams: a concrete pad team, a custom built aluminum welded stand fabrication team, an electrical team, a gas team, and a generator operation and maintenance team. All of the teams were professional, courteous, and highly skilled. Come to find out we live in a historical tree protection zone, so, in addition to lining up gas and electrical permits, Brandon had to hire a licensed tree arborist to conduct a survey and obtain a tree permit, all of which Brandon did for no additional charge. If you ever want an automatic full home generator to keep the lights on during the next hurricane outage, these are definitely the guys to call."

"Jason recently installed a Generac generator for our home. As a licensed electrician, Jason showed great knowledge of residential electrical issues and is very knowledgeable of the Generac product. He took the time to answer any and all of our questions. The installation work was done very neatly and with great care and attention to detail. We found Jason to be honest and focused on customer satisfaction. We consulted with several generator installers before choosing Goldstar. We highly recommend Goldstar for generator installation as well as any residential electrical issues."

"Bo did an excellent upgrading my panel in order to install a Generac whole home generator - which he also installed. I am very happy with the work he did and the fair price. Bo actually went above the "call of duty" on several issues. I would definitely recommend him."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.
