"Office staff was super helpful in getting this generator installed. And, on the day of installation, the technicians never took a break. At the same time, were very accommodating and and answered our questions fully. Great install. I would (and have) recommend Hurricane Homes."

"They were prompt & professional and scheduled me in for a 2 day job at my convenience. Quality of work is excellent. They were able to install a ceiling fan and recessed lighting in a room with no basement or attic with no additional drywall holes needed to run the wires."

"Our Electrician from Mr Electric in Denver PA was awesome. The scheduling was fast, and the electrician was very professional and friendly...he got right to work...worked around the existing furniture so I didnt have to move a bunch of things... and he got the fan hung beautifully despite the old house and a few challenges. I highly recommend them."

"I had 3 different companies tell me my Generac home generator was beyond repair including Generac themselves. Brian from Powerton showed up and methodology troubleshooting the problem removed the entire engine and found then problem. He is extremely knowledgeable and persistent. Wonderful to see a highly skilled technician rather than someone who says just replace with a new one. I would highly recommend this company. If all their technicians are as skilled as Brian this place is AAA++. Thanks so much"

"The professionalism, attention to detailâ s, and making sure everything is done to exactly what was asked for was spot on. He ran all new wiring, installed outlets, new recessed lighting, and dimmers for our newly finish basement. I cannot sing praises for going out of way to ensure our expectations were met and then some. The work was of quality. Most importantly the pricing was vey reasonable. I recommend Mountaintop Electric all the way."

"The major part of the work was replacing an old outdated Bulldog Pushmatic electric panel with the latest main breaker system. They also replaced the Matter Base, labeled all the circuits, replaced and installed GFCI, installed 5 new fixes and 2 ceiling fans, added outlets inside and in the garage, and fixed bad wiring in a few places from previous owners."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

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.

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.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.
