"I recently went through a kitchen renovation and needed electrical work done. I chose Spirelli Electric and was extremely pleased with the whole process. From the initial call with Joe Spirelli, through working with office staff(Emily and Melanie), through the estimating process with Justin and the actual work being completed, I was pleased with all interactions with Spirelli Electrical. Everyone was professional, courteous, prompt and they left the job neat and broom swept. While the renovation work has been completed, I have additional electrical I tems I want to address and I will definitely be calling on Spirelli for the work. I have no problem recommending Spirelli Electric to friends and neighbors."

"I was having a problem with my main breaker and my heat and hot water were not working in December/January. Anthony called same day. He came out and knew immediately what the problem was. Next day he came back with the part and within 1 hour situation resolved. He was a life saver!!! Very professional, friendly, and quick and best of all price was great. He made me feel at ease. I would hire him again without question and would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable electrician. Thank you Anthony!!!"

"Fast and super helpful. Gave me a proposal right away. Started work same week. If deviations were needed, was specific on what and why. Reasonable and fair pricing, and honest about their capabilities and areas of expertise. Professional team and went out the way to provide additional references for other concerns. I also appreciated the video Fabio took to show me the before and after, especially in areas I was unable to see."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

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

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

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

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

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.
