"Mike and his assistant replaced my seriously outdated smoke detectors in the basement and first floor, replaced a second floor smoke detector with a combo smoke/carbon monoxide detector and in the attic replaced a heat detector. While at my house, they also looked at a poorly installed outlet in the basement and brought it up to standard and installed an outlet on my front porch! They were quick and extremely helpful and left no mess behind. I will definitely call MKS Electric again if I need any further electrical work done at my house."

"The workmanship was top notch. New sump pump, back up battery, plumbing and new drains were installed. The guys who installed were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. All of the above at what I though was a very fair price. I would use them again in a heartbeat."

"I would recommend this electrician to everyone I know. We purchased a new home and they were very flexible working around the plumbers and the carpet installation as well. The work is top quality and they were very accommodating to our vision for what we wanted. Corey also made helpful suggestions as we planned the project for things we may not have thought of and let us choose what we wanted. Couldn't be happier with the entire experience!"

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.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

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.
