"David G. With The Happy Outlet worked ob a number of electrical problems, repairs, installations and upgrades we had been wanting for almost a year. He worked diligently using his expertise to provide an estimate for each request initially, then beginning to complete each item one after the other professionally. He was friendly and helpful and did not complain about the surrounding chaos . We are in the middle of remodeling the kitchen, replacing the downstairs flooring and remodeling the master bathroom to accomadate handicapped access. Each project was in the throws of demolituon. We also have large dogs who wereantsy with everythung going on around them. Undaunted and calm he met each challenge efficiently without complaint. He is welcome in our house anytime and hopefully will be our swrviceman miving forward for any future electrical needs."

"Craig, the owner, was very responsive to my quote inquiry. He cautioned me ahead of time that there may be some minor patching repairs needed around the holes they would cut to install the lights. I thought his quote was very fair and he was able to schedule the service within a few days. He and an assistant arrived right on time to start the work. Craig clearly knew what he was doing and he and his assistant finished the work in about 3.5 hours. They did a good job of cleaning up when they were done. The new lighting looks great."

"I called Jake on short notice to repair an electrical outlet in the garage (which continually tripped). He came out even though it was late in the day. He diagnosed the problem and replaced the GFI outlet. Great service. I will be contacting Jake when I am back in town to perform additional work at the house."

"I needed an access point installed in our house that had an addition. I was able to do most of the Ethernet cables in the house but due to the addition I was not able to get the Ethernet cables into the newer part of the house. I had posted in the Lemon Valley community on Facebook but got some completely ridiculous replies. Shane said he would like to come take a look and provide a quote. Shane arrived on time, quoted the job and explained his experience. After talking with him I also had him relocate some items that Spectrum said could not be moved. Shane’s work was fantastic. He was able to run the Ethernet cables, mounted the access point and was able to relocate the Spectrum boxes in a hall closet. Shane was very professional and his quoted price was the final price. I highly recommend Shane and will use him for future work!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

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

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
