"Nick Murray, one of the Murray brothers, replaced a circuit breakers panel in the basement and installed a full house generator with switch panel on my house. Nick did a great job! Very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend this company for electric works."

"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

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

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.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

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

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

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

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

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

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.
