"Matt, installed a backup generator on a pad made of rocks and 4 x 6 pressure treated wood that looks amazing!!! Tons of wiring and digging, in other words he sold me the total solution! He also installed a lightning rod and surge breaker inside my breaker box. While he was in there I had him replace all my breakers (circa 2001). All the bedroom breakers were upgraded to Arc Fault breakers. One could not be reset so he had to trouble shoot all the outlets until he found the one where neutral and ground were touching! Only Arc Fault breakers and Matt can detect this problem. You need to read up on the technology. I had him replace all the wired in smoke alarms original to the house (2001) and add an addition one next to the furnace. Matt understands all the electrical codes. My house will be 2017 federal electrical code when Pennsylvania just adopted 2014 codes. Most counties don't even require you to be an electrician to do electrical work. My wife and I sleep easy knowing that all our electrical work is done correctly and to 2017 Federal code. Matt is honest, easy to talk to, smart and very hard working and I trust him!!!! He explained everything he was doing since I watched him most of the time. I just moved here July 31, 2019 and have more work for Matt to do. I strongly recommend him! If I could give him 10 stars I would! James P. Nemeth, MGySgt USMC Retired"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

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.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.
