"They called within 20 minutes of me requesting a quote on Angi. This company gave me same day service on my air conditioning as they were going to be near my area. Had quick repair, had the part on their truck. The gentleman was professional and knowledgeable. I will use them from this day forward. Cannot say enough positive things about them. Thank you Angi for making this so easy for me. Gratefully, Carol W."

"One of the best home repair experiences we have ever had. Before Jeremy I dreaded the thought of having another home repairman set foot on our property knowing it would be a long slow process, full of no show days without any prior notice and usually not very satisfactory job. Jeremy is skilled, honest, a perfectionist about his work and the best communicator. You will want to thank me for telling you about him."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

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.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.
