"Cloverleaf Electric, LLC. It was a pleasure working with Shawn and his crew the beginning of November 2023. I called Cloverleaf Electric because I was having health issues associated with the strong WIFI signal that was coming into our home. Our internet provider was not helpful at all. I found Cloverleaf Electric on Home Advisor. I explained to Shawn that I am WIFI sensitive and that I wanted to move our WIFI box to another area of our house, so the signal was not so strong. I told Shawn that I have been using 100-foot Ethernet cords running from our modem to the tv and computer. Shawn was very knowledgeable and explained how his team would be able to fish Ethernet cables though the walls and our crawl space for internet hook up. The job was not easy because we have a finished basement. Shawn and his crew did an excellent job. They showed up on time, cleaned up before they left, moved the modem to the basement, installed Ethernet cables in various places in the house, and added a smart hub for the extra cable lines. I also asked them to install four new outdoor lights. The crew was professional, hardworking, knowledgeable and had great communication skills. I would highly recommend Cloverleaf for any electrical work that you need done in your home. J. K. Canton, Michigan"

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.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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.
