"John and his team were excellent. Of the electricians I got quotes from, John was the only one who noticed that some existing breakers in my panel didn’t match the panel’s manufacturer and shouldn’t have been there. His team arrived on time, was thorough, and focused on solving the problem I brought them, with no upselling or scare tactics. On top of that, the price for my EV charger install was excellent. Highly recommend, and would work with again in a heartbeat."

"After putting in a request on Home Advisor, Mike responded very quickly. I advised him i wanted to install a transfer switch for a generator and he went through the steps of what would need to be done. He asked a few questions, asked for a picture of the junction box, and then gave me a very reasonable quote. The day of the install, he called to reconfirm our appointment. The install was quick and clean."

"I live in Queens and had Tom and Nick come by for a variety of electrical jobs, ranging from smaller items such as installing new switches throughout the house to rewiring of an electrical panel. They did an excellent job, and when my old electrical panel gave out, they were able to install a replacement pretty much on the spot."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

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.
