"Just an outstanding experience end-to-end with Matt. He responded to the outreach within minutes and was able to give me a quote a few hours later that was very fair. We installed an induction stovetop and needed a new 50amp circuit and line run in our old house, crawl space and all. He showed up right on time, and made quick work of it. Very professional and friendly. He even stayed a little longer after the job was complete to help me diagnose another problem. Couldn't recommend him more highly. Would hire him again in a minute."

"From the office folks to the electrician who did the work -- friendly and professional. They quoted the lowest price of three estimates and did the work within a couple of weeks. I purchased my generator elsewhere online... and VMA walked me thru the process of hooking it up, running it, and shutting it down. Very helpful."

"Highly recommend Kevin and his son. Excellent work and great professionalism. Needed to have a new water heater wired in and Kevin was at my home the next day earlier than scheduled which was perfect as he was able to work along side our plumber. Kevin is now my electrician for all future projects. Thank you so much."

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.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

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.
