"This individual never showed up to do the work. We met long enough for him to get a $500 deposit and then has never made an effort to follow up or call. I have tried to text and call but no response to any attempt to reach him. This is obviously a scam and is not legitimate. Save yourself the time and find someone else."

"After spending almost 13 thousand dollars 2 months ago for installation of cummins home generator-it would not shut off after a normal automatic test. I called the company and they said shut off the gas. This was April 12. The said it would be May before a tech co u l check it out. So what do you think- you pay 13 grand to prote c t you from power outages but when it is faulty you are at the mercy of what appears to be a lack of technicians and VERY poor service. Its April 29 and havent heard back from them. The say they will call back and dont. Recommend you stay away frpm thi compNy!"

"We replaced the original roof on our house. I expressed my concerns about re-installation of the lightening rods to my roofer. We have had at least three direct hits since they were originally installed in 2013. My roofer called William who was very helpful. William offered to come out an make sure everything was 100% after re-installation. He came the day after I called and I'm glad he did. While the reinstall was the best he had seen (his words) there were issues after 5 year and 3 strikes that needed addressed. He fixed those and now I have a new roof and I am certain the lightening rods will work as intended. Highly recommend this company."

My Electric Works is Columbus Ohio's premier electrical service repair provider. We are NOT a franchise and pride ourselves on being founded here in Columbus. Locally owned and family operated, My Electric Works is your one stop Electrical Service repair shop!

"Overall we had a negative experience with My Electric Works. It started in Nov of 2021 when they replaced our box, we thought everything was all set but when we went to have our furnace replaced by another company they mentioned we did not have permits for our electric box. We reviewed the invoice for th work done by My Electric works on the box and noticed we paid for permits but never received. So in April of 2022 we called back, they then came out to label box which also was never done and found wires that had not been grounded properly in Nov 2021 so fixed that as well. Finally after 5 months we got the permits we had paid for originally. Then we had an issue with our living room light switch while replacing the switch where it had stopped working. We decided to give them another chance and called to have them come out to look at it. On the phone call to set up the service visit there was no mention of a diagnostics fee or an increase to the diagnostics fee. Once the technician arrived, he told us that just for diagnostics it would be $250 charge which was over a 100% increase from the fee we had paid 5 months ago. As he was already at the house we agreed since we thought the issue would be resolved. When he told us he would not be able to fix the switch without tearing out the drywall on our entire living room ceiling (which we do not want to do) he left with nothing better then when he arrived. So we had paid $250 for nothing to be fixed. When I called to complain about this exorbitant fee and ask why we had not been made aware of it during the scheduling call and to understand why it had increased so much we were told sorry this is the way it is. Very unhappy with my experience and with their customer service."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

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.

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.
