"I hired this company to do electrical run from my house to my shed. I was so impressed with their work and then reasonable price for the work they did. I had another problem with electric in my kitchen. I called them to come and fix it which they did in a short amount of time for a reasonable price. I would call them anytime."

Small jobs welcome

"These pros were absolutely amazing.Talk about "an on-time" company....for the consultation.. So, this was the third company we asked for an estimate!! We were literally blown away when they came in between $800-almost $2000 less than any of the other estimates we got. Yes, we initially were a bit apprehensive, but their Master Electrician laid it out for us, same identical configuration from our electric panel in the unfinished room to the garage for the charger installation. Of, course, why would we not hire them? They had experience with these type of installations. Parker and his guys...were always available if we had "just another"question. Yes, we hired them...and they lived up to everything. Always on time....no hiccups, no changes, just a smooth---no stress---installation. We will always go back to them, if we need electric work to be done. Highly recommend this company. We are so thankful that they got in touch with us from my request at ANGI. Thank you Parker and TEAM!!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.
