"We really like the professional job done by Paul, James III and Nate, they answered all our questions and explained everything to our understanding. They are no doubt well-trained in their field and dedicated to the reputation of the company. Kudos to our saleperson Tom, who also happens to be the president. We had on-location visits from 3 companies to have a whole-house generator installed and no doubt picked the best company."

"Garrett provided the estimate via phone and arrived on-time to remove our old light fixture and installed the new fixture quickly and even took the packaging material out with him. The cost was reasonable and we would hire him again."

"They were fantastic! They were polite, fast, organized, good clean up, and explained everything. The quality of the generator looks durable, and could last longer. They are the only company who told me that the generator needed to be serviced for every 2 years instead of every year. They also installed it on a stoned pad instead of a concrete which saved me a lot of money. The piping inside of the house was a flexible steel coil. They also do service calls."

"Jared was amazing with communication and the attention to detail with the installation of the electrical panel was beyond expectation. He gave us exactly what we asked for and more. I would hire him again for any future electrical projects we might have. His team was also highly skilled and talked us through everything they were doing."

"Mike went above and beyond for me today. I need the generator for medical and respiratory equipment and Mike rearranged his schedule to get the generator running today! Very knowledgeable, and someone I immediately trusted and felt blessed by the introduction and service he provided to me and my family. I would strongly, recommend Reliable Power Systems and will certainly continue to call on them."

"I spoke with three businesses and Reliable was well below the other prices. In addition, Mike spent time with me explaining the different options and how the system operates. I was a well informed consumer by the end of this project. The electrician was excellent and went beyond my expectations. I am very confident that he did an outstanding job and left me with a better and safer electrical system. The plumbers were punctual and finished the job in the promised time. Overall, I believe Reliable gave me an excellent product and service for my money and I will be highly recommending Mike in the future. I couldn't be happier with the results.

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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.

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.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
