"A wonderful experience for a complicated project! I would use Green Sun Energy again for any service they provide. They made the generator install as easy and painless as possible. The crew was kind and efficient. Lots to do for an install such as this but they did it quickly, efficiently and were extremely organized. Just how I like it! Thank you so much!! We feel protected for whatever comes our way."

"Kingdom responded on time with an accurate quote. When Nick arrived, 10 minutes early We proceeded to discuss what my plan was. This is where the great service began. I started out thinking I needed to replace fans in two bedrooms with new switches. I provided all the materials. Nick informed me I could return the wall switches I bought as the fans came with remotes and we could just use a regular switch because the switches I bought we not the correct type. First bedroom fan fixed. On to second bedroom. Nick informed me I couldn’t use an LED bulb in the fan as the fan wasn’t designed for LED. Problem solved. My wife reminded me we had another fan issue in another room. Nick checked the wall switch, changed dip switches and we agreed we would replace this fan with the now extra fan. On to outdoor lighting, I was mentally prepared to replace our outdoor light fixtures, nick tested each socket on our fixtures and identified I had a bad batch of bulbs. Just replace the bulbs and we will be good. At this point I am beyond pleased and start discussing the next few things on my longer term plans, including expanding the number of Ring products I have. One thing leads to another and Nick is off to Home Depot to get a couple Ring devices and the appropriate LED bulbs for our outdoor fixtures. A few hours later we have a new ring video doorbell pro and a ring floodlight installed and connected in my ring app. All new led light bulbs and detailed discussions about my next project. Attitude and quality of work were exceptional and I will be doing more work with kingdom in the future. I did not underpay, I did not overpay. I received great value for the work performed."

"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

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

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 are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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.
