"Bill H from Gambino Electric showed up promptly on time for the job. There were some edge ceiling tiles that needed to be removed to reach the power line and Bill did very clean work with the removal and disposal. Bill showed cross sections of the older range power line and the new line installed, describing the differences in insulation and safety features of the newer line. Bill went above and beyond by detecting the wrong cord on the new range, and replaced this with the proper range gauge power cord. Bill also helped us to correctly position and level the new range appliance. I would recommend Bill and Gambino Electric for any similar household wiring job where safety and quality of work are a priority."

"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Drilon and Barry from B&D Electrical Construction because of their excellent service, knowledge, honesty, professionalism and kindness. My home was without power, due to damage in the exterior wire and rust in the wire pipe. Drilon and Barry provided high-quality service to install new exterior wire and durable PVC pipe during almost freezing conditions today! I am extremely grateful because Drilon and Barry realized the urgency of my situation and decided to postpone work on a current project, in order to restore electricity to my home for a Happy New Year. Indeed, I will be having a Happy New Year because I will have electricity and heat in my home! Drilon and Barry expertly diagnosed the problem with my electricity and provided me with an organized work plan and a reasonable estimate of the costs. On the day of our appointment, Drilon and Barry took time to drive to a 2nd store because the 1st store did not have all of the necessary supplies for the project involving my home. Drilon and Barry also went beyond their scope of work and were kind enough to plug the minor holes created by the screws from the previous exterior wire pipe, as well as address the potential hazard of a live interior electrical wire with exposed and frayed copper filaments. I admit that I was very curious about electricity and electrical work. So, I asked a plethora of questions. I genuinely appreciate the patience exhibited by Drilon and Barry to answer my questions about the details of the electrical repair, as well as my questions about voltage, amperage, grounding, 110 volt vs. 220 volt service panels, dedicated service lines and insulation of exterior wires. I was very impressed by Drilon and Barry. As such, I have made arrangements with Drilon and Barry to undertake a 2nd project in the beginning of 2017 to update the interior electrical wiring and install a dedicated service line in my home. Also, I plan to refer Drilon and Barry to my colleagues- GREAT JOB! Sincerely, Wil Lo, MD"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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.
