"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."

"When I placed a request for the installation of two outlets on Angie's list, Steve got in touch right away but wasn't overly pushy either [which happens sometimes]. Between the three weeks I first spoke with him and the job, he was professional, informative, and responded to texts quickly and I knew exactly what to expect on-site as well as the cost. He sent pictures and cost of a similar job to help explain the work and the estimate. Steve identified some other issues with my electrical panel and made some small fixes--without increasing the cost of the job--and made some recommendations for me to consider in the future. He was courteous, professional, and seemed to care about the work and about communicating what he was doing and why. I would definitely turn to him first for my next job."

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."

"We had a great experience with Andrus. Tony came out before our Kohler generator installation to clean up our electrical panel and did an incredibly thorough job. Everything was left clean and organized. The generator installation itself went very smoothly. The team was professional, knowledgeable and respectful of our property, and everything was explained clearly along the way. We're very happy with the finished installation and feel much better knowing we're prepared for the next outage. Would definitely recommend Andrus!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

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.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

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.
