"10 yr old Generac GP6500E wouldn’t start. Called around and many want to upsell to permanent. Found Franks and what a delight. Honest, down to earth, affordable for senior. Showed up on time. Changed oil, spark plug. Pulled carburetor and found it dirty and fouled. Got used one from his shop(same day) and installed. Gen started right up on one or two pulls. Battery was dead but showed us how to replace. Highly recommend Frank’s Generator."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I would highly recommend Santella for residential electrical work. I requested quotes from multiple companies for a wide range of work, including bringing existing wiring to code, repairing issues, installing new outlets, junction boxes and external lighting and video. They were excellent with communication and follow-up, transparent in pricing and risks/assumptions, were available more quickly than others, and offered competitive pricing. On the job they were fast and efficient, professional, didn’t try to up sell, did high quality work, and cleaned up. I will be using them again for all future work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

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. 

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.
