"I can’t recommend Botelho and Sons Electric highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. They were punctual, neat, and completely reliable, showing up exactly when they said they would and keeping the work area clean and organized throughout the entire project. I had a 200-amp panel upgrade, lines run to a pool & hot tub, copper wire installed for the pool and the connection for our generator - everything was done to code, with obvious skill and attention to detail. Out of 6 electricians I got quotes from, Ryan offered the best price without cutting any corners. On top of that, both he and his employee were incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Bonus points for being amazing with my 130 lb Cane Corso, who is usually suspicious of strangers. It was clear they were comfortable around dogs and respectful of my space, which made the whole process that much smoother. If you want high-quality work from someone you can trust, I wouldn’t look any further!"

"Nick is the best electrician my family had the privilege to work with when we installed the generator at home in the end of Oct. 2020. He is highly professional, kind, gentle and responsible. By working with him, we had the job done in the best way on both the quality of material and pleasant process of the project. We are very grateful and highly recommended Nexos company to our friends and neighbors. Lee & Henry"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.
