"I want to take a minute and note that Carleton B. is incredible. Truly one of if not the best interactions I have had with a technician in any field and he is the sole reason we purchased a one year plan today. We are very pleased with his quality of work, communication, and timeliness. He has provided a great experience for us and for that we are very thankful."

I enjoyed meeting him and appreciated his expert opinions. I am still getting estimates and will certainly keep this company at the top of my list. Scott is very easy to communicate with and will brighten your day with his smile."

"Mr Henry did an amazing job upgrading my electrical panel and installing additional electric outlets (I needed 3 lines put in under the house in the crawl space and my old panel was maxed out). To start with , his quote was very reasonable. Next, I was expecting to take weeks to schedule the job, to my delight he worked me into his schedule and finished the job within a few days of calling him!! Very professional. Great attention to detail. This guy knows his stuff! I will definitely hire him and his team again for future projects. (I hope to buy an EV someday and when I mentioned this, he knew exactly what would be needed to upgrade my garage. That’s the kind of knowledgeable electrician I want working for me.)"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

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

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.
