"Dominic removed old wiring and electric fixtures in my cabin. He installed all new wiring, inside and outside lights, and designated outlets for items like a microwave oven and future hot water heater. My contractor was impressed with the quality of Dominic's electrical rough-in. After the insulation and sheetrock were completed, he returned to add all the fixtures, switchplates, smoke detector, etc. Everything looks great. I've used Dominic a couple of times, and he does a neat, professional job, always responsive to the customer's needs."

"I bought a $9K generator and installation through Lowe's. This company was the assigned installer. The initial appointment with Patrick went fine. Everything afterwards went south: - calls for scheduling took forever and the attitude was rather rude - techs don't call ahead when arriving (late) to the property - no communication when the next trade would come, what the next steps are or when the project would be finished - project not completely finished after three months (finishing details still missing) - start-up tech even recommneded to me not buy the service package from the company he is working for (says a lot....). Apparently this seemed a good company at some point but the office needs significant training and upgrades. Not sure where the owner is. His sales pitch was good but he disappreared in the meantime. Since the problems started, no one has reached to me to find a reasonable resolution. I can live with problems if they are dealt with."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

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, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.
