"This was such an easy experience for us. Everlight Solar did all the planning, completed all required forms, obtained permits, everything! When all approvals were in, they came and installed the electric and then the panels. It was turned on within a couple days. There has never been a problem with the system and we are delighted to be doing our part to reduce our carbon footprint for the planet. We have been very happy with the entire process, installation and service from Everlight Solar!"

"Gave great advice and helped me problem solve over the phone. Very honest - in the end he said I just needed a new microwave and not electrical work. Offered to come do microwave install if I needed help. Gave free advice - I wanted to compensate him for his time and advice, but he just suggested I leave a good review - which I was very happy to do! Very friendly and saved me money!"

"Nick Murphy is the electrician and we were very pleased with him. We were remodeling our house and needed some electrical work done. He coordinated with the contractor we were working with to make sure the electrical work got done in the scheduled time frame of the project. He suggested several things to us which were helpful. We also had a previous problem with wiring going to our detached garage. One of the options would have involved digging up our yard. Instead he installed a wireless switch to turn our garage light on the house. It works great. We would definitely use him again.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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.
