"DC = Dale Castro, a top-shelf electrician who services my Generac generator, and repaired a faulty outside electric box/switch. Extremely neat wherever he is working, cleans everything, and to boot: he is a super-charged great person. Consider yourself lucky when he is on premise."

"We hired Paul knowing nothing of him except he was on Angie’s List. He and Brandon didn’t disappoint and I can’t say enough great things about the two of them and their work. They were very reliable and were so easy to have in the house. They laid down plastic over all carpeted areas and cleaned up every evening. Extremely professional in both their work and business and were very fair. They were fine with making changes, The two full bathrooms were gutted and the 1/2 bath a new vanity installed with new toilet. I couldn’t be happier with the end result and I would absolutely hire them again. Linda-Aurora"

"Chris and his assistant did an excellent job of explaining the situation and options for repairing or replacing our hot water heater. In the end we chose to replace it and they were able to secure a new unit and install it within 3 hours. Would definitely recommend Chris and Tri-County Services and will use them again if another situation arises."

"Services were solid but prices are ridiculous with this company. It was a $20 part that took less than 30 minutes to install. They charged me $337.00. I should have researched before agreeing to the service. Way better values out there in NE Ohio."

"Blind & Sons did a great job with my electrical project! I had them install a new electrical outlet in the basement for my electric dryer and the technician that performed the work was professional, courteous, and cleaned up after himself when the job was done. Will be hiring Blind & Sons for all future projects!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

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.

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.
