We are a small, family owned business that has been serving central PA for nearly 40 years. In 2010 we began installing Generac home standby generators and since then have become the go-to dealer in the Harrisburg area. We proudly hold a 5-star rating and have thousands of happy customers. If you want to work with a company that knows their stuff, and will be around for years to come, choose Absolute.

"Tyler and Tom arrived at 8:30 A.M. on time. They reviewed with us where the generator and tanks would be placed. They leveled the ground and placed the pads for the tanks and generator. Tyler attached the transfer switch beside the electric meter and wired to generator while Tom did the wiring in our basement to our circuit box. The master plumber (provided by Absolute Solar) arrived and did the hook up to the two propane tanks and under ground gas line to the generator. They were all done and cleaned up by 1:30 P.M. All workers were very professional and personable. They did a fantastic job as promised by the owner Rick Fortney. To say we are pleased is an understatement."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
