"Chad was professional, knowledgeable, dependable and friendly. He installed new smoke detectors in our home. Even though the work took longer, and more challenging, than he thought he did not increase his price. I would highly recommend him for your electrical work."

"I had a power outage in the back of my house that has two refrigerators. I called to electrical contractors in Warren. The first one I left a voice mail then called the emergency number and left a message there. After about an hour I didn't hear from him so I called the next number I had and left a message he called back a little while later told him what I had and he tried to blow it off to the electric company. I had tried to see what the problem was myself when I got to the point I didn't know what was wrong. I went to Angie's List then Home Advisor. Fifteen minutes later I get a call from Good's. I told her what I had and we scheduled the appointment. The tech called me on the morning of the appointment and said he was on his way. When he arrived I told what I had and what I did. He looked at my panel and said it was an old one which I knew because its the same panel that's been there since I was a kid. He said he could get me going again and he'd give a couple of options on what I could do. He told me that I was going to have to replace that old panel because if I decided to sell the house I'd have to bring it up to code. I had a choice of replacing everything from the top of the house to the panel in the basement which included putting the wiring in conduit or not. I chose to have the wiring in conduit replacing the meter box and the breaker panel box. We scheduled the appointment and that morning he called to tell me he was on the way. When he got there he and his partner went right to work taking out the old wiring the meter box and old panel out. They replaced everything including putting conduit up for the wiring and a new 100 amp panel. I have to tell you that the only way you know they have been here is because of the new equipment they installed because they cleaned up all the old equipment and hauled it away. I am very appreciative of the customer service and professionalism I was shown by the techs. I will be using them from now on and recommend them to anyone who needs electrical heating or AC work. I can't say enough good things about them."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

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

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

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

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.
