"Patrick is a thorough professional. Your project will be done on time and on or below budget. I trusted his recommendations for project modifications, which turned out better than anything I was envisioning. The list in this computer form don't begin to address all he did. It included installing light fixtures, updating kitchen cabinets and more."

"The electrician from Hometown Electric was courteous, proficient and efficient as he completed the installation our newly purchased ceiling fan. He was here for an hour or so and was willing to do other job(s) to fulfill the minimum service agreement of 2 hours. Per my request, he looked at our dining room light fixture, but said there was nothing wrong with how I reinstalled the glass globe after replacing the light bulb. Thank you Angi for the referral. I would definitely call them if I had any other electrical concerns or projects. Stuart F. Julian LuAnn Julian"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.
