"Highly impressed with Joel and his crew. Very professional, easy to work with, reasonable, and did a great job. I ended up with an electrical emergency and Joel came right out to assess and turn off the power. Then he went out of his way to tend to that project first as well as what I had originally hired him for. I would recommend them to anyone who needs anything done. They replaced outdoor light fixtures for us, installed a flood light outdoors, installed an outdoor light, installed an outlet in our media area, cut out ancient lights from around our pool, installed new conduit and wiring for our pool equipment, installed a new pool timer, 2 new outlets by the pool, and made sure it was all safe and grounded out there. Very impressed with their service! Thanks Joel and crew!!"

"They did the job but did not enter the permit with the township properly. Now the permit is rejected, and Graf took more than 3 months to follow up! And it got rejected a second time. I will never recommend these guys. Stay away, these guys are not good. VERY unreliable people."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.
