"This company is top notch. They came on short notice and assessed and completed my request on the same day and was able to squeeze me in with a full schedule already. They installed a outlet in my closet. There was an issue with a fixture that was defective but they troubleshot it until they were absolutely positive it would need special parts from manufacturer. Right after they left, my wife was complaining about house being hot. Went to thermostat and it had no power. I tried everything I could but nothing worked. The only thing I could think of were since they had to go in the attic and the AC unit were in the attic that maybe they stepped on a wire or something. I called them back and they turned around with no hesitation. Turns out it was just a coincidence that a fuse went out in AC at the same time. They fixed it with it no additional charge and saved me from a very uncomfortable situation having been in the home for a few days and trying to get everything just how the wife wanted it. If you want through, quality work with a company that stands behind their work then look no where else."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

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.

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.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.
