"Paul tackled reconfiguring our old steam shower motor as well as installation of extra outlets. He also ran a dedicated line for a future sump pump. The steam shower work was a real challenge but Paul refused to give up. He worked until it was he successful. For over a year we have enjoyed a like new steam shower thatâ s actually 36 years old. We were so pleased with his performance, his price, and his punctuality, weâ ve hired him for other electrical work. We most highly recommend Paul without any reservations. We consider him â our electricianâ !"

"Hook it Up did an excellent job at installing our in-ceiling speakers for commercial use. They were able to complete the installation promptly and then when we wanted to make modifications to the installation, they had excellent customer service and provided rapid assistance. Also, Wally, the technician, was GREAT. Highly recommend this company."

"Spencer at Cagen Electric did a phenomenal job wiring our house when we were having MAJOR renovations done. He is efficient, knowledgeable, & clean. He was easy to reach & responded to inquiries quickly. His skill, combined with his personality & pricing stand out, & was the deciding factor for us going with his company instead of someone else. He has been back several times for other jobs around the house & the quality of his work never falters. I would highly recommend Spencer from Cagen Electric"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

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.
