"This company does not have a solid understanding of the Generac generators they install. I had the owner out last week to repair ours that is less than 3 years old. He left saying all was good, and on the following Saturday it failed to start for it’s weekly exercise run just as it had before he “repaired” it. Same exact error code. Ask him about Generac’s MobileLink app and he doesn’t have a clue. When I told him it failed again he said that maybe his battery tester was bad and that batteries are not included under the warranty. He said I should buy a new battery. I did, for $190, and it did not solve the problem. When I asked about their covering the cost of the battery, he asked “why should I?”. Steer clear!"

In our experience. 85% of user’s problems are either software or operating system problems due to bugs, worms, virus’, Trojans, malware, grayware or spyware related.

"I provided a detailed review on Yelp before I found that I could post a review on the company website. 2nd time using the company and the owner Jim came out both times. In each instance, he found a solution to the problems that could have led to unneeded additional work and cost if he was not honest and professional. The first time was about 10 years ago when he came out and determined all that was needed was some Freon (it's an old unit). Added the Freon, checked out everything else, and only charged a nominal service fee plus the cost of the Freon (when it was about 1/3rd the cost of today). This time the fan motor failed and he gave instructions over the phone for me to test in order to determine what the problem was and how to keep the condensor cooled down so it would still blow cold air (the house was up to 89degrees while it was 94-96 outside. He calculated the cost for the repairs, but I opted instead to go with a new 5-ton unit to replace the 33-year old 4-ton unit I had. He stopped out, measured everything, came up with a full turn-key quote for replacing the coils, the unit, moving the electrical box to put it back to code, new hoses, pad, re-routing the plumbing on the pump used to carry the condensation away from the furnace, fabrication work on the furnace where the new coils would go. That number never changed. No new "discoveries" of additional unforeseen costs. Cleaned everything up afterward. Came out exactly at 8 am with his intern/apprentice and was done and out the driveway exactly at 1:30pm. The work done on the furnace to replace paneling to fit the new coils in looks like it came with the furnace. All clean looking and fits perfectly with the furnace and blower that sits right below it. Would use this company over and over and will recommend him to anyone looking for HVAC or electrical work. I think he has cut back on doing AC units and furnaces - just because of the physical labor involved with moving the units around, fabrication work, hauling units up and down stairs, etc. But, if you want it done right the first time - then this is who you should try to book for the job. You get the story straight from the beginning of what the problem is, what it will take to do the job right, how long until he can get it booked, and a quote that will be right on point and each component of the cost required. I suppose there are times when he runs into surprises when he gets into a job and finds a problem that was hidden behind panels, walls, or duct work - but I never had that issue."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

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.
