"Hired for a large job (complete house rewire) after their quote came in the lowest out of several companies. The first meetings with the owner, Tim, went well. However, Tim was barely present at the worksite, and there was a lack of communication between his workers. The vast majority of work was completed by young apprentices who were not experienced. Interior and exterior holes were drilled in incorrect locations, trim permanently damaged, huge bags of trash left on the floor, and wires left cut without a replacement line. There was one spot they said they couldn't run a line to, that my girlfriend and I ended up doing in about half an hour. It felt like if we didn't make a big fuss out of everything that went wrong they would have happily left them as is. There are even some things STILL unresolved as they were found after paying TE in full. Overall I cannot recommend their services. If you do hire them, better babysit them to make sure you really get what you're paying for."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
