"This project went great. As soon as I met Brian I had a great sense of what the job would entail. He also gave me a quick overview of home generator usage in my local area (I live in an area with a lot of recent power outages) and best practices. He was on site himself along with his crew for the installation. It was done quickly and at a reasonable price. Really looking forward to work with B-Tec for my future projects!"

"Rich is the best! Very knowledgeable and so very professional He fixed everything correctly the last contractor messed up at my personal house. Everything was perfect after Richs work!! Rich completed the new 200amp service into my house and ran wires in perfectly bent conduit in my inside garage and to an underground 60 amp service to my outside garage. Full house generator with an outside plug complete with an electric panel lock out! He hung the new lights and put outlets everywhere knowing this is my works place at home in the outbuilding. Rich also corrected a messed-up panel and sub panel at my commercial property. The wire from the pole was brought to my attention on a Tuesday and Rich gave me a very fair price to fix everything the next Saturday. One day of work, turned into two and Rich stuck by his estimate. I was very impressed about Richs attention to detail.... I don't mess with electrical. Rich is the best and highly recommended him!!

"William Burden is the third generation owner of WBLightningRods and his company has been in business since 1950. He is very courteous, professional, was on time, and has a very good crew. William was present for the entire installation. We chose the copper system. We are glad for the peace of mind a lightning rod system will provide."

"We could not be happier. Nick and his team installed new electrical in the second floor addition to our home (including heat), installed an electric car wall charger, and completed some electrical upgrades to our first floor. They did an outstanding job from start to finish. Always showed up on time, were easy to get in touch with, extremely respectful, and made sure to answer any questions we had along the way. In addition, they are extremely knowledgeable and always had our best interest at heart. Their work speaks for itself and we will definitely be hiring them again in the future."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

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.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.
