"Mr. Green TRULY puts the customer first! He installed a whole house generator for me last August and called to check on us 6 months later because bad weather is coming. Brought me a key and showed me (again) how to add oil. I had several estimates and he beat other prices by several thousand $ AND he installed a bigger generator! I will definitely hire him again and recommend him to every one!! 5 star service *****!!"

"SUMMARY: HIGH QUALITY WORK WITH LARGE PRICETAG. Corley plumber arrived on time. Their plumber was polite and offered several options for the repair. The repair was completed correctly and in a timely manner. Work area was cleaned after plumbing work was completed. No problems with the repair since it was completed which was several years ago. In short, I would give them FIVE STARS FOR THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK. I would hire them again in an EMERGENCY (which is why I hired them for this work; the usual plumbers I use were unavailable), but NOT for non-emergency work. My reason for not wanting to use them for routine work is that their prices were OUTRAGEOUS and I'm not a miser (this is why I removed one star in my rating). The few replacement parts needed would have been nominal cost at a plumbing supply store. That means their labor was $200+/hr for installing compression fit connections which is even easier and quicker than gluing PVC pipes together (no heavy lifting; nothing complicated; easy access to pipes). I've had other plumbing jobs that were too big for me to do. I've found competent plumbers that do a great job (quality like Corley's) for half the price if you are willing to wait a day or two. Lesson: Instant gratification has a high price tag. FYI: They will charge for the cost estimate if you don't have them do the repair."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
