Since 1994, the professional electricians at Mr. Electric have been serving residential and commercial customers throughout the US and Canada. We get it right the first time, delivering the most comprehensive electrical services including installation, upgrade, and repair solutions available.

"Mr. Electric provided excellent service for me under difficult circumstances. A building contractor damaged a wire and buried it under 42” of concrete. Ryan Corley, Mr. Electric’s wire detection specialist, was able to locate the wire accurately. Electricians Jeff Shipkosky and Khefren Johnson spent two and a half very long days, in 93-degree heat, digging around the perimeter of my house. Both ends of the damaged wire were eventually located six feet underground, which is considerable deeper than code requires. Justin David, Mr. Electric’s manager, was here working alongside his men and provided all the support possible to them. He maintained full contact and communication with me throughout the entire process. These men, along with a crew of assistants, are a class act company. I was very impressed at the dedication of Mr. Electric and recommend them highly."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In Akron, unexpected costs during generator installation often stem from upgrading outdated electrical panels, installing or extending gas lines, and addressing transfer switch compatibility. Site preparation may reveal drainage issues or require a new concrete pad, especially if soil conditions are poor. Permit and inspection fees, as well as higher labor rates during peak storm seasons, can also impact your overall project budget.

Helpful?

When planning generator installation in Akron, consider how local zoning impacts generator placement, especially in areas with strict noise or visual guidelines. Evaluate the reliability of your chosen fuel source, and ensure your installation site remains accessible during winter. High demand after storms can affect contractor availability, so booking early is wise. Also, notify your insurer and check for flood risks near rivers or low-lying areas.

Helpful?

Akron’s weather, including cold winters, heavy snowfall, and strong storms, can delay generator installation and complicate site access. Frozen ground may require specialized equipment for trenching or pad installation, while high humidity and wind demand weather-resistant enclosures. Scheduling your project in spring or fall helps avoid extreme conditions, but always allow extra time for weather-related setbacks and ensure your generator is rated for local temperature swings.

Helpful?

Installing a generator in Akron can enhance your home’s value and attract buyers who prioritize uninterrupted power, especially given the region’s frequent storms. Homes with backup power systems often stand out in the market, particularly in neighborhoods where power outages are common. A professionally installed standby generator can also give your property a competitive edge and support a smoother resale process.

Helpful?

Before starting generator installation in Akron, outline your project timeline and confirm all necessary permits are secured. Arrange for utility locates to identify underground lines, and coordinate with utility providers for any required service adjustments. Review neighborhood guidelines for generator placement and noise, and ensure your installation site is accessible year-round. Always schedule inspections in advance and hire licensed professionals for electrical and gas connections.
