"On the recommendation of the generator seller, I hired Mr. Ott to handle the electrical portion of a whole-house generator installation. It was a great experience every step of the way. The morning after the generator was delivered, Mr. Ott visited to view the installation site, take photos, and get the permit process moving. When the permit was available, he called to set up an installation appointment date, telling me to expect the power to go out that morning for the whole day. Sure enough, the power company arrived as scheduled to disable the power; Mr. Ott was here within a few minutes to install the new panel, aided by his son. Within a few hours, the panel was installed. He found that the original electrical installation was not performed according to today's best practices and made some improvements. When he was finished, the new panel was on the outside wall (he even lowered the meter to keep the new panel from being too high) and all cabling from the generator to the panel was buried. He contacted the power company to restore electricity; total outage time was slightly over 5 hours instead of a full day. After this experience, I would hire James Ott to handle any electrical maintenance problems or enhancements in my home. He and his son are capable and personable. What's not to like?"

"Service was excellent, above and beyond expectations. The fan I had purchased did not have the appropriate attachment for our highly sloped ceiling, so Mr. Lassiter located and purchased the necessary kit and completed the work that same afternoon. I will definitely hire him for future work."

From the initial call to the completion of the job, their professionalism and expertise were evident. The technician was punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the issue and the repair process clearly. The work was done efficiently, and my generator is now running perfectly. I highly recommend Electric Working for any electrical needs – their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is truly outstanding!""

"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."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

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

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
