"My home was destroyed by Sandy and needless to say had to be rewired including a new electrical panel. I also had a generator wiring done and all my lighting fixtures. He is very meticulous and clean. I highly recommend Ryan for any electrical needs."

"The electrician clearly explained what he was doing and why. He did not do anything additional until he had my approval. He also pointed out a rigged outlet fixture for a generator and identified it as dangerous and asked if he could remove it. We have more work to be done and we will have them back."

"John is a very professional electrician and is very knowledgeable about what he does. Him and his crew have many years of experience doing this kind of work and it really shows. I just had them install a new car charger for me and I couldn’t be any happier with the results!"

"Dependable Renovations LLC. was a pleasure to deal with. Steve and his staff are knowledgeable, courteous, honest and professional. All work was completed, as discussed and in a timely fashion. What I truly appreciate is the concern for the cleanliness of their work and the respect of their surroundings. That's something you can't teach. I would highly recommend Dependable Renovations for any work consideration."

"I used Call Me Electric because they were highly reviewed on angie's list, and after using them their reviews are right on. they are amazing at what they do, and very prompt and professional. i had a light post installed outside, a light fixture installed at my front door and back door, electrical outlets repaired outside, light fixture installed in my office, and had my basement lights replaced with led lights. All the work was done just the way we wanted it. I want to think Ralph, John, Andrew, and Nick for being very professional and doing a great job. i highly recommend them for all your electric work and i will be using them in the future. thanks again."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.
