"We had a complicated request in that the project we wanted done was the installation and setup of both a Solar Panel system and a Whole Home Generator. The project started in March 2022 with the owner, Nate, responding to my contact request for a quote along with two other firms all of whom came within a few dollars of one another. My initial dealing with Nate as well as his response to questions after meeting convinced me he was the best choice which proved to be correct. Nate provided very detailed quotes for both portions of the project that laid everything out clearly in black and white. We knew there would be delays at our end with securing a home equity loan and dealing with our HOA and Township and Nate was upfront about supply delays, mark before you dig delays (it was determined early our natural gas line was undersized and needed replaced and done at no charge by the utility), inspections and finally the interconnect to the grid. All of these where handled between us and Monyer and although a slow process as he had described it went smoothly. Even before the Generator had arrived they had us scheduled pending the delivery of the Generator so we had a locked in date. Shipping held up them receiving the Generator but they reached out as soon as they knew and we rescheduled the installation based on the new ETA and they where easy to work with scheduling when I could be home and not traveling for work. The day of installation came and the Generator was installed very professionally and neatly and I was given a very good training on what I needed to know. Shortly after the Generator Installation being completed the Solar Equipment was received by the Solar company Nate contracts with to do that specialized work and again they scheduled us when it worked for them around when I would be home for several days as it is a much more complicated installation both on the roof and at the meter but again everything went like butter and was done neatly and professionally. At this point we where actually up and running with the Solar Panels generating power and the Whole Home Generator ready to do its job in the event of a power outage but we still needed the final Township inspection and the replacement of the electric meter with a bidirectional meter. We knew from previous experience that our Township works in its own sweet time which they did but the work passed inspection with no problems and then with two weeks our electric utility had the new bidirectional meter installed completing the project in its entirety in mid-November 2022 at which point final payment was made. Throughout the entire process Nate or a member of his staff was always in contact with us keeping us informed as to how their side of the project was going and keeping up to date with the little we had to stay on top of as the home owners. It was the same for Monyers Solar contractor who was always in contact with us and responded to us quickly when we reached out to them. I cannot say enough good things about our dealings with Monyer Electric from before starting to the ultimate finish."

"The electrical pro that came to do our electrical outlet and lighting installation was excellent. James was not only very efficient, but made suggestions for lighting and informed us of the different lumens that would highlight specific areas in our home. Pleasant, courteous, problem solving, fair pricing and excellent work. James made our experience very positive and we would highly recommend him and Forrest Healy Electric in the future."

"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

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.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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. 

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.
