"Work included the installation of six LED light fixtures in the living room to be controlled by a dimmer switch, power to be supplied from an outlet that was previously split so one-half the outlet was controlled by a standard light switch. Started looking for an electrician in early November and used both Home Advisor and Angies List for leads. Jay (Miletti) came out and provided an estimate within a week of the call. With one other exception, the other electricians identified by Home Advisors and Angies List did not respond to the invitation, I guess they had too much work or the job was too small. I was able to solicit two additional electricians through word of mouth but their bids were considerably higher. I finally decided on Miletti in mid-January. I contacted Jay and he came out the next day to finalize the paperwork for the job. Five days later, Jay and his assistant were doing the work; prompt response. The job was not difficult but it did require experience to minimize the amount of damage to the walls and ceiling to run the wire. Jay and his partner, Jake, spent a total of about 18 hours (between the two of them) carefully running the wires to the penetrations where the fixtures were to be installed. Jake took care to install the cans with minimal gap so the fixture is unlikely to slip. In hindsight, I am glad they did the work since I probably would have been too impatient. In the end, they only needed two extra openings, one in the ceiling next to the wall and one in the wall to thread the wire; both were patched before they left. I have a little touch-up patching but I expected as much. They cleaned up nicely after their work. The job was finished the same day as they started and the results are completely satisfactory. Based on they pricing and the quality of their work, I intend to contact Miletti (Jay) when I require additional electrical work. Further, I would not hesitate to recommend Jay to my friends that may require electrical work. One other point, before they left, I asked for one of the boxes that the LED fixtures came in because the brand was not familiar, I shop at The Home Depot and Lowes. Jake told me that the fixture came from a local supplier in Elizabeth and that they try to support local businesses with their business. That might not mean much relative to the quality of their workmanship, but I do think that says something about their character."

"I hired Kloock's Electric to install a television antenna. They came out to do an estimate and we discussed equipment options. I decided on an antenna and amplifier and requested that they install the antenna strapped to a chimney. I received a quote for the work and equipment costs. They ordered the equipment and came out to install it when the equipment arrived. The install went well, and it was apparent that the installer had done this before. They were professional and courteous."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

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

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

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

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.
