"We were very pleased with the promptness of the response to our request for a bid and were impressed from that first visit through providing the estimate, talking through options, scheduling and awarding the work. It was a two-day job for Ben to install new main and secondary electrical panels and untangle the work that had been done over many years by previous owners. We are now able to safely operate a portable generator to power the essentials in case of power failure and are pre-wired to convert to a standby generator when we are ready. He also installed new outside lights and garage overhead LED work lights. He did everything very neatly. Ben has an outstanding work ethic and kept at it steadily. I am pretty sure that what Ben did methodically in two days would have taken other electricians longer. I would highly recommend Ben, who is supported by his wife Chris, who does the scheduling and paperwork. Outstanding."

"I have used Eads Electric now for 5 jobs and am planning on using them again for my master bathroom remodel again next year. They worked with us on our basement remodel post Helene and were upfront about the cost and even found us ways to shave down the costs. They did our generator outlet, our kitchen remodel, the bathroom exhaust/light, a ceiling fan in the spare bedroom and several light switches and outlets in the bedroom. Their prices were very reasonable and both men were respectful of our home. They even came after work so we didn't have to take the day off of work. Best of all they showed up when they said they would, keep cost within quoted prices and didn't mind when our three cats wanted to help with the work."

"Quite honestly, this was not the lowest cost proposal I received for this project. If it wasn't for Ron I would have awarded the work to someone else. But Ron convinced me that there was a price for quality, and that I could trust them to deliver. I made the RIGHT decision. The installation is beautiful. Better than the original roof. When they arrived, they worked non-stop. When the project was complete, they cleaned up better than it was when they arrived. There was never a question on what was included in the price, and the workmanship is exquisite. big 5 stars."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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.

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

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home
