"Mr. Orr quoted installing 30-amp generator inlet box for $1,000 and 50-amp for $1,300. I agreed on 50-amp one. He did not want to be paid by personal check, credit card, even bank cashiers check. He accepted only cash. I agreed. For permit, he said his hourly rate is $250 and two visits to town office would cost additional $500 for permit and stated I do not really need it. Considering he is in Angis list licensed, prescreened, I accepted the offer without permit. He installed the service. No receipts, no insurance information, and with my acceptance, no permit. He did not even try my new generator after installation to see if everything works fine. It was partly my mistake, though. I feel humiliated now. No one should work on panel without town permit. I had to call another electrician after the work. The cable from inlet to panel was 8-3, not 6-3 gauge for 50-amp inlet. I called Mr. Orr and requested a proper gauge cable or reimburse me $300 for the lower grade work. He did not want to come, saying it is a 45-minute distance. He agreed to send me $100 by his personal check, saying I would not have any problem with my generator's output (The Westinghouse WGen9500DFc Dual Fuel Portable Generator with CO Sensor produces up to 12,500 peak watts and 9,500 running watts), dividing 9500 watts by 240 volts. He said I do no;t even have 50-amp output anyway and I should not worry about it. Now, another electrical contractor who replaced the panel to 200 amp, replaced the 8 gauge to 6 gauge, as well."

"Joe and his associate Jesse did a great job installing ceiling fans in my bedroom and living room. Both had cathedral ceilings so they had to get up into a crammed attic area to complete the work. They estimated six hours and were done in five. They also left the place spotless. The price was very reasonable."

"Jason and his team with Cotti-Johnson did an excellent job updating our electrical boxes, installing the washer/dryer hookup, and getting us setup with a generator! Sam, our assigned electrician, even took the time to go through the entire operation of the generator from A-Z. I would definitely recommend them for any electrical work!"

"Expensive but professional. The electrician that did the work was excellent and seemed.to enjoy explaining what he was doing and why it had to be done that way. I felt like I learned something while he installed ceiling lights. He also cleaned up after himself like he'd never been there."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

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.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
