"We hired Anointed Power after a sewer flood caused major damage inside of our home; Donald Moore and his crew came in fast, professional and handled all the repairs. During the times Donald had to step away his crew interacted with our family with complete professionalism. Donald helped us with several issues concerning our Insurance Coverage and even took the time to meet with US Bank when they came to inspect the work he completed. Our home looks wonderful! New paint; new cabinets and fresh new carpet; all completed two weeks prior to our agreed upon deadline. Donald Moore fought my Insurance company's scope of work and showed them why I needed my whole carpet replaced; I would not have been able to convince State Farm with out his professional view and input. He did such a good job on the inside we had him build us a new deck in front;; he even re varnished my back deck to match the new one he installed! I would recommend this company to anyone; hell even my Insurance Adjuster took his card after seeing the quality work he and his crew completed. Thank You Anointed Power; your name speaks for its self and your actions back that name up!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

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. 

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

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.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.
