"Working with Joel from start to finish was great! Very up front about the process, costs, and ensured he delivered on what I wanted and needed. Joel was extremely punctual with great communication which made my generator installation go very smooth. Pricing was extremely fair and I plan on using Smith electrical in the future for other projects. I would highly recommend Joel and his team!"

"George came to price an outlet installation for my new washer. He was so direct and honest and reasonable that I hired him to do it on the spot. Two weeks later the light in my bathroom ceiling fan went out. I called him to come out and instead he diagnosed the problem (correctly) through text and led me through some simple steps to fix it. If I could cook like my mother I would have baked him a pie. Instead I'm writing this review so that everyone knows what a great electrician and person George is."

"During the walkthrough John was easy to chat with on what we were looking for in this project. We were looking to get some ethernet drops installed so that a new hardwired ethernet and wireless network could be installed by North Shore IT ([*** Link removed ***] Once we agreed to the project, Bill and Nico were easy to work with and were very expedient. They completed the job over a day and a half and did a great job at minimizing the impact to the walls and floors. I would definitely recommend JP McCurdy electrical services to others and would use them again!"

"The Upwire crew did an excellent job installing a couple of different light fixtures in my kitchen. This was my third experience with Jim's team over the years and each time I am very impressed - the work is top notch, performed at the time promised and fairly priced, the site is left impeccably finished and clean. I would not use anyone else."

"We hired DiMasi to install TV antennas in our attic and run RG6 cables from the antennas to TVs on the first and second floors of our house. Peter DiMasi made a visit to our house and came up with the best route for both cable runs. His workers came a few days later and did the work. They were pleasant and worked steadily and quietly. Their work was very neat. No repairs needed in the house. They were good about cleaning up after the job. Reception is now excellent on both TVs."

"Steve comes highly recommended! He got back to me very quickly after I initiated a search for an electrician, and he arrived just two hours later! Steve is both friendly and professional and did a great job of installing a Nest thermostat and also showing me how my fuse box worked to get lights back on in my BR (which had gone off). He gave me an estimate before he came, and there were no additional charges or surprises. When I had a question later about the thermostat operation, he was helpful and took my call even though it was "after hours." Steve will be my go-to guy if I have another electrical issue!"

"Anthony called right away and showed up on time. Both Anthony and Patrick were professional, knowledgeable and efficient. They walked in the door and immediately put on their booties. They installed a ceiling fan in my bedroom and a light over my painting. They vacuumed and cleaned up after they finished the job. They are a new company and young but I would hire them again because they know what they are doing."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
