"Doug and his team did a thorough job with both a video call walk-through and an onsite follow-up review of the project to provide options before providing an estimate. Chris performed the work and was very detailed, asking questions during the install to be sure that the location of the junction boxes, etc. were exactly how we wanted them, while adhering to all code/safety requirements. The job was very involved and I am definitely pleased with the results."

"Alex is awesome, he upgraded or panel with a surge protector, installed recessed lighting, dimmer switches and installed panels behind our TV for a wireless look. He installed new ceiling fans, and a new dining room light fixture. He got the project done on time and its better than we hoped. His pricing was much better than the competition too!"

"I contacted Kolb---they came out after hours during the storm and fixed the generator, giving us great peace of mind. Last year, I used their website to get a quote on generator maintenance. I never heard from them. This was disappointing. Both the responsiveness and punctuality ratings would have been "A" had it not been for the latter experience."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

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.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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.
