Hey i’m Jadon, i’ve been doing electrical work for 5 years and love getting new experience and perfecting my craft. I specialize in small commercial and residential, but I also have years experience in big commercial and industrial. I am employed with an electrical company, but like getting more experience with side work. I’ve worked all around NC and I live near Greensboro, so I don’t mind traveling an hour or 2 out. I work on panels, and put them in/wire them, underground, receptacles and lights, home appliances, remodels, electrical demo, and much more. I take pride in my work and always want my customers happy. I would never accept a job I don’t believe I could finish to my absolute best ability. Thank you and I look forward to doing great work for you!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

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

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

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.
