"Project was replacement of breaker box and electrical riser (the wires on the side of the house from the power company) whose insulation deteriorated and caused water leakage into breaker box during heavy rains. Got three proposals and went with Schedel. Very satisfied. Their honesty, flexibility, and punctuality were commendable. Unlike other contractors, they don't listen to the radio while working. Their quote included relabeling the circuit breakers, a plus since other contractors charge extra. Finally, their quote was significantly lower than the other two contractors. And the payment terms were flexible, to say the least."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

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.
