"Toney was very polite and took the time to explain the problem made by the previous electrician. He worked quickly to fix the problem at a very reasonable price. He was very empathetic. I wish I had hired him the first time. He made sure the job was done right and it has been so nice having full electrical power. Iâ m very grateful. I highly recommend his services."

"My experience with Barco Electrical was superb. I had the light replaced outside of my father-in-law's house. He lives in Shreveport and I am located in Atlanta, GA. John responded immediately to my request for an estimate. The work was done when I requested and John did a great job. He kept me posted on everything that was going on and my father-in-law, who is quite difficult to please, was thrilled with the work. I will definitely use Barco Electrical in the future. Thanks to John for making this so easy and affordable!"

"Customer service is excellent. After dealing with a large generator company first who delayed and delayed with no communication, it was refreshing to work with Tyler. We already recommended Tyler for 2 generator repairs and and wonâ t hesitate to recommend in the future. We will continue to use Tyler for annual maintenance to know we are always ready for a power outage. Also, happy to support a local business."

Generator Install questions, 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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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.

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.

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.
