"Very pleased with this contractor and the cost and quality of their work. Upgraded my panel to 200 Amp service, split an overloaded circuit, and ran a line set for an HVAC project. Max and his team are real pros. The cost estimate was fair and accurate. After initial review of the project, we made a few changes on job day, and these were accomplished with zero problems. Their coordination with the electric co-op was also flawless and the job was accomplished on time and within the cost estimate. They even gave me a $100 credit for the removed 100 Amp panel. I plan to hire them again to wire an existing out building on my property. If you need electrical work, call them!"

"Daniel and Ethan did an outstanding job for us. Their communication was excellent, keeping us updated on arrival time and showing up when they said they would. They worked clean and were accommodating of our questions about the work. After adding a circuit and installing outlets we asked them to check the other outlets in the house. Daniel found and corrected a major problem with one of the kitchen outlets. The work was done well and will be a major upgrade to the house at a very fair price."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.
