"Jim is not only a friend of mine, but a real pro at electrical work! I most assuredly recommend him. He has done work for us before. If you want a real pro and a really nice contractor as well, I can't recommend Jim highly enough! He had my problem fixed within only a few minutes. He explained what I was doing wrong and corrected it for me."

"Kane and Scott arrived on the planned day and completed our work in four hours. They were a half hour late from the planned start time, but Kane communicated to me that morning the delayed start time. We had two ceiling fans and two wall sconces, with switches, installed. They worked diligently and carefully, and everything looked great and worked perfectly when they were done. They cleaned up almost everything afterward, but left a lot of dust and some trash behind. We were happy with their work and cheerfully paid the money for which they asked."

"Grand Bay did a phenomenal job installing a new service panel in our home. The crew that they sent out were amazing. Not only did they install a new panel, sub panel and hot tub hook up, They also put in (6) GFI's and ceiling fan. We were so happy with the service we received and would recommend Bay Electric to anyone who needs an electrical job done right, these guys rocked it. Thanks to the entire crew and to Nick who put up with me making change after change. Thanks for putting up with me."

"The entire project was such a great experience. From the moment I first requested a quote online, Mike has been very responsive (within minutes) and so great to deal with. After talking to a few references provided to me, I decided to proceed with a whole house generator install and new power to my shed out back. They easily worked around my schedule since this is a vacation home. They installed everything in 1.5 days and arrived on time as promised. The entire team was such a pleasure to work with. They prided themselves in making sure they left the place as clean as possible. Don't be swayed by a lack of online reviews. Highly recommend you give them a shot!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

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
