"Julian and his assistant replaced our old breaker panel, and also installed a portable generator portal along with an interlock kit, all for a very reasonable price. The work was careful and professional. Very satisfied."

"Roy is really a prof. He installed two overhead fans and a hanging lamp. The fans had a complicated control system but he was able to get them to work flawlessly. Bonus: he is really a nice person and he cleaned up too! I would recommend his work to anyone."

"ad an excellent experience with this electrician. He came out to my building to take a circuit breaker panel out of service and perform the necessary disconnects. Instead of just doing the work and charging us, he took the time to thoroughly inspect the panel and discovered it was not powered at all. He showed me everything clearly and was completely honest about the situation. Because of his integrity, my company saved over $1,500 in unnecessary work. It’s rare to find someone this straightforward and trustworthy in the field. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and professional electrician."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.
