"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."

"Called Star Bright Electric for the removal of an antique chandelier that needed to be stored. They handled everything with care - cleaned the chandelier and took care of the storing it in the box. When we went over what we needed - he was able to give me an estimate over the phone (of course with pictures and dimensions of the project). They responded within a timely matter and communicated throughout the job. We are very please and highly recommend Star Bright Electric in Philadelphia. They are honest and very professional."

"I had two bedrooms in my house with no overhead lights installed. This was not an easy fix for me and a complicated install. I'm so glad I called Pro Electrician. A new line had to be run up in the attic and over and into the center of the bedroom. They did a fantastic job. This is a finished house and The technician was extremely neat and efficient and explained everything to me. And i'm glad that I didn't try this on my own. Now I finally have lights controlled by the wall switch and also had ceiling fans installed. 100 % satisfied and definitely would recommend them."

"Mr. Rowland installed a light post as well as a century floodlight on the side of my house. He also installed LED energy efficient lights in my basement. The installs were all clean and well done. Not to mention the price was very reasonable. Without a doubt, I would absolutely hire or recommend him for future work."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

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.
