"I really want to say how pleased we were with the quality and professionalism of Dunboy Electric! We have an older panel in our house that was giving us trouble for quite some time. A friend of ours in Denville recommended Dunboy electric. We worked with Tim who was curtious, intelligent, professional and thorough. He installed a much needed service upgrade and everything works smoothly again. Overall, we were very pleased with Tim and Dunboy! Thanks!!"

"Gary and Alex came to install my Tesla G3 Wall Connector with very reasonable price in February. Last week, I texted Gary and Alex to report an issue with the circuit breaker for the charger. Alex came back the second day to replace the breaker with a brand new one with no charge. Alex also made extra efforts by staying and observing charging for 20 minutes to make sure the charger works fine before he left. Great professionalism and best customer services. I strongly recommend Alex for your needs. Ben Chen from Oradell"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, whole-house generators run constantly for extended periods. Whole-house generators can run for longer periods of time than portable generators, but be careful. First, they may need regular applications of engine oil (as frequently as daily), depending on the engine design. Second, running constantly for several days will increase the wear and tear on the generator and shorten its lifespan.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.
