"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 *****!!"

"Jeremy answered my call for a new home generator install after the recent prolonged blackout. He reviewed the site and within a half hour provided a quote. They were swamped with new installs, but he promised the job in 2 months. He and a large crew finished when promised in half a day, then he patiently explained the operation. An excellent, high-quality job. I was thankful and very impressed. He?s now my first call for all electrical work."

"Can highly recommend this company. Service and installation was great. Very professional and friendly. Generators are in short supply, so plan early. Allow about three to four months for generator to be available."

"Quite honestly, this was not the lowest cost proposal I received for this project. If it wasn't for Ron I would have awarded the work to someone else. But Ron convinced me that there was a price for quality, and that I could trust them to deliver. I made the RIGHT decision. The installation is beautiful. Better than the original roof. When they arrived, they worked non-stop. When the project was complete, they cleaned up better than it was when they arrived. There was never a question on what was included in the price, and the workmanship is exquisite. big 5 stars."

"We were affected by Hurricane Helene and had no power. I was running extensions all throughout my house to my generator and it was an absolute mess. I called Greg seeing if he had availability to hook my generator up to my breaker box and told him my situation and how we had no idea how long this outage would last. Greg wasted no time at all to get over here. He was very professional, punctual, funny, and kind. He had my generator hooked up to my breaker box in less than a hour and it was such a blessing. We ended up going 5-1/2 days with no power and it was so much easier to bear this storm with my 3 young kids thanks to Greg’s work. We will definitely be calling Avila Electric for all of our electrical needs!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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
