In 1993, Tom Raynor began taking on electrical construction and service jobs across southern New Jersey. With just one assistant and one beat-up truck, Tom crisscrossed the state, building a reputation for his small outfit as one that offered professional, hands-on service and reliable, high-quality results. By 1994, it was official—Raynor Services was born! \n\nSince then, that red pick-up has been upgraded to a fleet of ten fully stocked trucks. We are now a “one-stop shop” service company, specializing in electric, heating, cooling, and generator services. Raynor Services has never lost the spirit of professional, hands-on service that it was founded on. Family-owned and operated, we combine small-business service with big-business expertise. \n\nRaynor technicians are among the best in the industry. Each must complete a rigorous hiring process – including a background check, a drug test, and an HVAC or electrical proficiency examination.

"It was this Christmas eve during a storm and we lost power. I started up my emergency generator and it was working just fine. As the night wore on the generator started to loose power and after about an hour finally stopped generating power. I have two sump pumps that keep my basement from flooding as water levels rise from beneath and 3 refrigerators and a freezer full of food. I was aware that the upcoming New Years eve should be stormy as well, therefore getting the generator up and running was a priority. I called numerous companies that claim to service and repair generators although until I reached Rick at Raw Power none actually did repairs. Rick came to the rescue and my priority became his priority. He scheduled the repair the very next day. On the scheduled day he called to let me know he would be at my house an hour early. He is a total professional that goes the extra mile we so frequently hear about but seldom see. Once at the house he quickly analyzed the problem. Since he didn't have the required part, he found a store that had it, left to get it and promptly returned to complete the repair. There were no surprises as he was completely up front as to the costs. He even spent extra time with me reviewing how to run and maintain my generator, as well as, proper electrical connections."

"We had a top experience with Star Bright Electric and would highly recommend them. From start to finish, they were professional, polite, and easy to work with. They communicated clearly, showed up prepared, and took the time to clarify any questions before moving forward with the work. The job was completed efficiently and everything was done well. We appreciated that they were respectful of the home, careful with the details, and made sure the work was completed properly. It can be hard to find contractors who are both skilled and pleasant to work with, but Star Bright Electric checked all the boxes. Overall, we were very happy with the experience and plan to use them again for any future electrical work."

Generator Install questions, 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.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.
