"Very well. These guys, Gil, Luis, Jake and Nick, did a great job with our 2 day installation, they were professional, friendly, answered questions easily, protected the indoor environment (drop cloth, ppe etc), and reassembled and thoroughly cleaned everything afterward. Look forward to contracting with them again for any other large job."

"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!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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.

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.

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.
