"Barker Electric was fantastic. Brian and his crew installed all the electric in my new build, from placing floor outlet receptacles and conduit prior to foundation pour, to planning the inside and outside lights and outlets, to installing the light above my sink. Brian and his crew were professional, punctual, and completed all the tasks they said they would! I highly recommend Barker Electric! I will hire them again !"

"I have not received the invoice yet, so I am only speculating about the value for money question above; however, these guys did a fantastic job. They far superseded my expectations by accomplishing more than I had originally anticipated. They were courteous, professional, and competent and managed to get a tremendous amount of work done in a reasonable time. They even corrected something that another contractor had left undone. I will call these guys again when I need an electrician. They fixed two dimmer switches that have never worked properly the entire time we have lived here, repaired GFCI outlets, did some arduous work (literally ditch-digging) to replace a wire to the septic system that had gone bad, and offered great advice when I had lots of questions. They took great care to clean up after their work and removed their shoes every time, they entered the home to ensure the carpets were not dirty."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.
