"We had an emergency light in our electrical closet that got no power. What a weird, isolated occurrence, since no other electrical issues existed. Brian was such a pleasant technician to work with! He was knowledgeable, prompt, gave me the best possible fixature option, a reasonable price and his service was fast! Thanks, Blake and Brian. They even installed the new emergency light. I will be sure to count on you for all of our electrical needs in the future. At least, then I can expect our exit lights won't be crooked :)"

"I can not say enough good things about Mr. Kirby and his company. He was very thorough, efficient and professional. I recently hired him to wire my new barn for lights and power as well as some improvements to my new home. We discussed my wishes prior to starting and his knowledge was pivotal in guiding me through the planning and supply process. He knew and adhered to all the electrical codes and he knew his business and trade. He worked very hard and was there every day until the project was complete. He even found some issues regarding previous work I'd had done and helped me resolve those in addition to the project I hired him for. I highly recommend him for ANY electrical project or problem you may have. I will always call him first for any of my future electrical needs."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.
