"I was extremely pleased since the other companies said several other things were wrong with the unit and what Scott said we found to be accurate. He had the unit running in less than 2 minutes and he explained how to get the unit running again if it happened again. I was extremely pleased with him and have referred him to several other friends. He actually approached the problem instead of a proposing big sales pitch."

Update:

Marc gave me a call shortly after this review was posted and apologized profusely.  He indicated that due to the urgency he sent a subcontractor that has turned out not to be a good guy.  Marc committed to refunding my payment.  Having an issue is one thing, taking responsibility and fixing it is everything.  Thanks Marc.

This is a mixed review.  I was selling a house and had to have a grommet (little plastic insulator) installed in my electrical panel.  Buyer was insistent that the grommet be popped in by a licensed electrician.  I had to get this done and quickly.   Day after the request MI responded drove thru heavy traffic, got there late but got there.  I had the panel open, handed the gent my hardware store grommet grommet, he popped it in and wrote me a note while I closed the panel, took my $125 and was gone. 

All of that was great except that MI did the work three years ago and failed to install the grommet that got me in this jam in the first place.  Hard to feel good about that.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

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. 

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.
