"From the office folks to the electrician who did the work -- friendly and professional. They quoted the lowest price of three estimates and did the work within a couple of weeks. I purchased my generator elsewhere online... and VMA walked me thru the process of hooking it up, running it, and shutting it down. Very helpful."

"Extremely satisfied with Andy and Kyle. They are both professional, knowledgeable and personable. They installed a new motor in the attic for our bathroom exhaust fans. A previous electrician had told us it would take maybe a few weeks to a month or more before he could secure a new motor. Andy got us one within a day! He also was able to diagnose and fix a crazy mess left from that previous electrician with wiring our old timer unit. We are so thankful we finally found a decent, caring electrician and would hire them again in an instant. We put our trust in them and were not disappointed. We highly recommend Belcastro Electric."

"I hired Mike to rewire and replace the outlets in my home as well as install brand new lighting, outlets and switches in the finished attic. His workmanship is nothing short of exceptional. It's plain to see that Mike is a professional who cares about his work, and more importantly his clients. His pricing is also very competitive. No need to worry about mile-long contracts and being charged hourly on top of exorbitant fees etc. If you are looking for any kind of electrical work to be done in your home, I highly recommend you give Mike a call or text. I guarantee your experience will be as good as mine was!"

"Mr. Castillo was excellent. Prompt, evaluated the issue & immediately went out to get the necessary supplies needed for a replacement installation of a 30 year old wall heater. Competitive pricing. Would hire again & highly recommend."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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.

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.

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
