"Not good, tech said the generator was out of code due to location, did not perform services. He told me office would be in touch they scheduled a quote bid for 9/23/2020 many weeks after tech was here, so after bid it will be one to two weeks before relocation of generator and service. Process is taking way to long I was willing to advance pay if they brought materials on 9/23 and complete proper install. It’s Hurricane season. They also billed me for the maintenance which he could not do because he said it was out of. Code."

"Mr. Wadford was and is very responsive to any query or request. He was always on time as was the installer. He was very patient and thorough in explaining the system operation and Bluetooth software. He insured that I understood everything and answered any and all questions. I have only had the system for a short time but it is performing perfectly. This project is to replace n old system. This new system cost $1500 less than the 20 year old system it replaced. The Wadford Water Works provides a quality system as well as quick, efficient and professional installation. I am thoroughly pleased with my decision with my choice to do business with Mr. Wadford."

"I found him off Craigslist, I didn't find him on Angie's List. He did his thing, he was on time, but I thought he was outrageously expensive for what he did. I didn't know it was Mister Sparky. I went on to Craigslist and they had this one ad that didn't identify who they were. They just said that they were super cheap and the lowest cost etc etc etc. I called them up and I set up an appointment and then Mister Sparky rolls in to the driveway. I had no experience with Mister Sparky. He is the on time electrician. He showed up, he wasn't in the house for more than 50 minutes. All he did really was, he took a wall socket and turned it upside down. I had the polarity upside down, I didn't know it, it was a dimmer switch, a really simple job that he knew and I didn't know it. It was knocking off some wall sockets and then he installed a ceiling light fixture for me that I couldn't do because I just needed three hands and I didn't have them. So, he had the experience. That was all he did. He really just did practically nothing and he charged me $180. It was like $200 an hour. I live in Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant is on the Carolina coast here, north of Charleston. It has a lot of people like myself who aren't native to the area. Mount Pleasant in here is perhaps the state's most affluent suburb. It's a very popular place because of its proximity to the downtown of Charleston, with all those attraction for dining etc. The rest of the population kind of lives elsewhere. My experience and I've been here eight years, there is like a Mount Pleasant price and there is a price for rest of the people, wherever they live. That's the problem that you have. You mention that you live in Mount Pleasant and all of a sudden the price is, "How much?" You just have to kind of grin and bear it and shop around. That's just the way it goes around here. They think everybody is rich who lives in here. I pulled them off Craigslist. They didn't identify themselves. They rolled in the driveway and I got a $200 bill, I was a little bit shocked. It was $200 an hour. I was expecting a little over $100 or something, not even that much for what he did. They were on time."

"I had four electrical outlets that were not working. I scheduled an appointment with Tony from Trident Electric. He called me about an hour before my appointment to see if I was available so he could come early. I was, so he came right over. He immediately got to work troubleshooting my electrical problem. It was a complicated problem, because there was a disconnected or broken wire somewhere in the wall. However, he was able to fix the problem, and all of my electrical outlets are now working. Tony cleaned up after himself, and he is very courteous and knowledgeable. And this was all done for a very reasonable price! I will definitely call Trident Electric again for any electrical problems."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
