"New to the area, I needed a hookup for an emergency generator and EV charger. Cole came to my home, took the time to discuss different options and answer questions, and provided a detailed, written estimate, all the same day as my initial inquiry. The project was completed within a few days. His price was very competitive and his work meticulous. A true professional."

"Ryan is awesome! We needed to upgrade our garage electrical + smoke detectors & pool alarms @ our rental property in L.I. (Permit dept requirements) Ryan arrived right when he said he would & he stayed extra to help ADT solve a new thermostat issue. He texted us pics of each repair/replacement he did before he left the property. He gives good & honest advice, & is very easy to work with! Other electricians we contacted for this last minute project didnâ t even bother to get back to us! I highly recommend RCK Electric."

"All I can say is WOW, what a team! Brooks and Patrick spent the whole day yesterday, in my home, doing electrical upgrades and repairs including: Dusk to Dawn lighting, High Hats, Motion lights, New GFI outlets etc. They worked non-stop, refused multiple offers for food and drink, and completed each job to perfection. It was quite impressive watching them problem solve and rectify any issue they came across with the old wiring. When everything was completed, they walked me around the house making sure I was satisfied with all the work. Very satisfied I am, and highly recommend this team. You're gonna love them!"

"i recently had a tesla charger installed, and i am extremely satisfied with the service. the electrician did an outstanding job he was professional, knowledgeable, and completed the installation much faster than i expected while maintaining excellent quality. the work was clean, efficient, and everything was installed perfectly. on top of that, his pricing was very reasonable compared to other estimates i received. it’s not often you find someone who delivers great workmanship, works efficiently, and offers affordable rates. i highly recommend him to anyone needing electrical work or an ev charger installation."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

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.

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more.
