"I converted an attic into a 1 bedroom apartment with private bath, kitchen and laundry area years ago and contracted Brandon Oakley to do all of the electrical work. The job was completed timely, professionally and without any issues. Since then his company, Legendary Services, has expanded its services to now include installing back up generator systems and solar systems for sustaining your electrical needs during power outages. I have discussed these options with him and he is very knowledgeable and I am considering installing one or both of these systems in my home. I trust his judgement and his work based on great past experience."

Customers say: True professional

"I would like to thank Crest Electric and their team for the work they did at my new home. We recently purchased a house in DE, and being new to the area, it was a relief to find a fair and reliable contractor who takes pride in their work. I needed their help with installing recess lighting, raising the electrical outlets, mounting TVs with TV mounts, installing chandeliers, and handling the installation of doorbells, cameras, and floodlights. It was such a relief to have Crest Electric manage this huge project, and they offered a reasonable price without making me feel like I was being ripped off. I highly recommend Crest Electric for their attention to detail and their willingness to make adjustments to ensure that everything is perfect in the eyes of their clients. This is something that a lot of contractors take for granted, but Crest Electric truly understands the importance of meeting their client's needs and preferences. -Michael"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

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.

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. 

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.
