"Everything went really smooth. Larry & Aaron really know what they’re doing. We needed to add a GFCI receptacle and they had to cut into the exterior of our home. They also added a circuit switch for a generator hookup. This was no simple electrical work and it took some expert skill. These guys KNOW what they’re doing and will be my go to electricians in the future. HIGHLY recommend!"

"Review: I recently had an EV charger installed at my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Shield electric was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the entire process. The installation was completed flawlessly, and everything was left clean and organized. Our electrician took the time to explain the setup and ensured everything was working perfectly before leaving. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of electrical work, especially EV charger installations!"

"He received the notice early on Saturday morning and called within an hour. He was at my house to get the estimate done an hour after that. We agreed to have the install done the following Friday to give him time to get the permits done. He and his son we exactly on time and the price was actually lower than I anticipated. A totally professional job. This guy is on my list for my next electrical job."

"I hired Shock & Awe Electric to do some electrical work at my home in Ocean Isle Beach, NC. They responded quickly to my Home Advisor App request and came out to give me a quote on my project the very next day. They installed a fan light on my dock, along with adding an on off switch; they installed on my house two ring flood lights and three motion sensor flood lights which required them to move existing electrical fixtures and relocate them and lastly they re-wired a outdoor shower light and added an on/off switch. They scheduled the work when it was convenient for me, showed up on time and did excellent work. The price of the project was very fair and they cleaned up well behind themselves. I will use them again and recommend them highly. Shawn and Rick are very professional and personable guys ."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.
