"PowerUp electrical was very professional and came out numerous times to help a strange situation we had with running electric to our hot tub on our new build house. They were very helpful and did not even charge us for the return visits. We really appreciated using a company with such integrity and great work ethic."

"Joe was more than amazing. He was informative and very knowledgeable. He was a super nice guy and stayed way longer than I expected him to (on a Sunday) , but he told me he wasn't going until he had everything done for my power to be turned back on. I was not just impressed by him as a person and his knowledge, but by his work and work ethics. My old breaker box had wires crossed all over the place. When he was finished, my new one had every wire going straight down and over to the breakers; nothing crossed or twisted. I would not only highly recommend Mr. Electric, but I would recommend Joe! (No offense to the other employees) Totally satisfied and grateful for the service I got as our neighborhood was recovering from a tornado that Friday."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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. 

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

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.
