"Jordon Hawkins from Powerhub and his team did an excellant job upgrading my electrical box and the junction for the new cooktop stove. I was impressed with his efficency, the teamwork with his crew, and the work ethic displayed. After his estimate visit I understood fully what needed to be done and why, he used no pressure. He and his team arrived a little ahead of the scheduled time. He instructed each person on their specific job as a group, ensuring that each team member coordinated their job, working together. The work met my expectations completely, they were very polite and skillfully completed their work without excessive noise. Jordon was available immediately on a call-back for the one question that I had, resolving it completely. I highly recommend his service to anyone. Noreen Nefcy "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

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.

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.

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.
