"What a great person to deal with he took time out of his busy schedule to just to take a look at my generator. Then while taking a look he automatically seen a few problems and fixed them right away. Would hire him in a heartbeat for future problems"

"Rich is extremely professional and is a top notch electrician. He installed a manual transfer switch for the new backup generator we will now use at our home if we lose power. His pricing was competitive and he went the extra mile for us and neatly labelled entries on the panel and even installed a light above the new panel which we can light up when the power's out. I highly recommend him and will use him again and am recommending him to friends and family."

"We recently changed homeowner insurance companies. During our walk through, the new company stated that we had to have an old unused oil tank removed from our basement. My first instinct was to go to Google, where I found that it was very difficult to find companies whom performed this type of service. My next instinct was to try Angie's List. After calling several providers, I was receiving quotes from $325 - $800. We chose to go with High Octane for two reasons: A) The price was the best and B) I submitted for an online quote and they responded very promptly. That same day, they came out to our home and gave us a more concrete quote and we scheduled our appointment. We are very satisfied with not only the work that they performed, but the level of professionalism we received.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

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

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

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

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.
