"The owner Nate came to our house and provided a quote. His team did an excellent job following-up to schedule the job, securing the township permits, and installing the generator. I highly recommend hiring Monyer Electric if you're looking for a back-up generator."

"The team that installed my generac was amazing. All three were very professional and each knew his part of the job perfectly, They did a beautiful installation of a 24kW whole house generator and auto transfer switch. Very aware and concerned about doing everything to code. When they finished they went over everything that i needed to know about the generator. Finally, the pre-installation communication was first rate. They kept me up to date as far as installation date, time, etc. If you are considering a. Generac whole house generator, Iâ d very highly recommend Monyer."

"We had an electrical problem I just couldn t figure out as a DIYer. All our outlets in one room were out, and everything pointed to a neutral wire being off SOMEWHERE. The guys at Stovers came back several times until they found a burned wire on an outlet on the other side of my house. These guys were nice, professional and persistent until they figured it out. Would DEFINITELY hire them again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.
