"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

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

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.

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. 

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
