"Very responsive, came out for a quote in a timely manner which I can't say many others did. Has responded quickly to my emails to answer any question I have posed. The crew came on time to position the generator and had it in place as described. As soon as Tim and Robert were notified of gas connection they scheduled final install, showed up exactly on time and completed work in a very professional manner. Very happy with the entire process."

"Justin did great job, intalled the hookup and the transfer switch for the portable generator. Worked in freezing temperature outside. The only downside was that the install was postponed few times because he was waiting for the parts"

"Justin was awesome. Very proactive about calling me back and he was able to squeeze me in right away. He was also very flexible about the job. There were a couple things I had asked him specifically to do and then I asked for an additional outlet to be installed...he did it no problem. Great Experience!"

"We had Nathan from Ufema Electric complete a rewire of our entire finished basement. He provided a comprehensive estimate in a very timely fashion. The estimate was reasonable and Nathan was able to complete the job right away. We found him to be not only very skilled, but extremely polite, and respectful to our home - great job cleaning up after each workday! We are very happy with the results and will be using Ufema Electric in the future for any electrical needs. I would highly recommend Nathan and Ufema Electric."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

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 home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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.
