"Since I am working at home it was needed. Glen and Chris were awesome to deal with as they walked us through the process step by step and every time they said someone would be here that person was. It was seamless and very easy to work with them and I would Highly recommend them if you are looking for a generator install."

"The two electricians openly discussed with each other their options for the best way to complete the job. I liked that they didn't come in with only one thought in mind, but considered the advantages and disadvantages of different possibilities."

"Scott s Electrical company did an amazing job. I had them put in a whole home standby generator and was very particular on how I wanted the generator to be placed/installed including wiring underground. Scott was very thorough in his work that even the inspectors complimented all the wiring. Customer service was top notch. They were always available to answer any questions and did all the legwork for acquiring permits and just made it absolutely seamless for me (the homeowner). I truly loved working with these guys as I know nothing about this stuff and all I care about is making sure my family is safe in case of a power outage which happens quite often near us. After the install, Scott walked through the generator with both my wife and I and also simulated a power outage to show us how the generator kicks on and made sure everything works that we purchased the generator for. I would definitely recommend this business to my family/friends. Genuine people who love what they do and take pride in their work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

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.
