"We had Kingdom Electric install a bathroom fan. It's a Panasonic whisper Quiet with led light. Nelson the installer cut the ceiling and installed the fan so clean that no touchup paint was needed. After the install and wiring, he cleaned up everything. Very professional. I added having a timer switch installation which I called Kingdoms office regarding the extra cost. The office was professional and polite and discounted the fee to install the switch. I would use Kingdom again and recommend them to others needing an electrician."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

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.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.
