"Tim Geise was recommended to me by my friend. I called to have a generator connected to my home and to have a 50 amp plug installed for my RV. My call was returned instantly and a time was scheduled for a consult. He was on time and very professional. He told me what would be done and scheduled an install date. Again, he was on time to the appointment. He brought his daughter, who is aspiring to follow in her dads steps and be an electrician. They were awesome. They worked quickly and efficiently and finished the job without any issues. I have already referred them to a friend and the work was completed just as efficiently and professionally as mine. Tim and his daughter are very personable and are my definite go to for any electrical work."

"Both Brandon and Jonathan were excellent to work with. They are true professionals. They've installed a full solar, inverter, and battery backup system for me on two different occasions. They communicate well before, during, and after the project. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for electrical work. Especially for batteries, solar, and backup power. Also, the second picture is before they were finished. They always leave a very clean and organized job site."

"They did a real good job. They were real professional. We can now open the garage door from the inside of the house and now it is so smooth that we have to check to see if we hit the button to open it or close it.  Before we used to know when it was opening or closing because it used to make a noise. It helps when you move to a city where you are new. "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
