"Chad is very knowledgeable, takes the time to fully explain prior and after all work performed. He installed a Generator hookup for us and made sure we understood how to operate it from start to finish. I highly recommend his services. We will absolutely call him back for future projects."

"Amaury was very professional and did a good job. We delayed the work until we could take delivery of our generator so that he could test everything together and go over the transition with my wife and I. He was neat, accommodating, patient and thorough in describing how things worked. I would recommend him."

"Jose was great to work with. He was quick to respond, came by on short notice to have a look and provide a quote for the work (Installation of one new smart thermostat and replace one old thermostat with new thermostat; requiring separation of baseboards due to wattage). Very competitive pricing, showed up on time at each appointment and got the work done quickly. He left the place cleaner than before, and walked me through everything after the installation. Can highly recommend Jose for any electrical work!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.
