"Beacon came out, did an assessment and provided a quote for a generator based on my power consumption. They also provided recommendations based on my current setup ( pointed out things that were not up to code) and possible fix actions. Installation took 1 day and looked very professional. Follow up for the 1st year is part of the installation also. Overall, a great experience. Rated value a little lower simply because your paying a lot of money for something that may never be needed, but it's always nice to know it's there."

"O.G. Electric is worthy of your trust. Jason is a no-nonsense guy who works hard for customer satisfaction. I hired him to do some troubleshooting and to install dedicated switched circuit for a new garbage disposal installation. I felt the service was well-worth the price. I plan to have Jason's shop come back to wire a new shop building and to install some security lights as well. I know I'll get another great job."

"Jaye was the ultimate professional. He arrived on time and completed my installation with care. He also hid the wires which made the installation look perfect. I use Technical Installs and Repair for all of my tv mounting needs as well as recessed lights, smart outlet and smart light switch installation. I love that Jaye is a licensed electrician because that assures me that the job is done right! I recommend this company to all of my friends, family and customers."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

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. 

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.
