"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."

"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!"

"We had Russell Smith from Corley out to check out a T&P valve water heater leak that another plumber had diagnosed but never fixed. Russell quoted us a price to replace the valve(s) but also mentioned that our water heaters were 12.5 years old and may need to be replaced fairly soon. We decided to go ahead and replace both water heaters at a total cost of $4174 with a 12-year parts and labor warranty from Corley and a $19.68 monthly charge for their Service Partner Plan. The retail value of the water heaters, as I realized later, is about $600 each and the wholesale value is about $500 each. So, the installation cost and maintenance fees were around $3,000. Russell returned to replace both water heaters. After he left, we noticed that we still had a leak of about 2 - 2.5 oz/minute and the Corley dispatcher agreed to have Russell return to see if he could locate the leak. When he returned he noted that our water pressure was around 84 psi but he was somewhat reluctant to address the high water pressure issue, citing changes might result in additional leaks. Russell was unable to find any leak in the system. The next day, my wife and I woke up to find that we had no hot water. I checked and one of the two hot water circuit breakers was tripped so I contacted Corley to have them come out to check it out. Russell returned to find a leak in the hot water supply line just above our recirculation valve. He replaced the rubber washer and then proceeded to check out the two water tanks. Russell then discovered that the tank below the recirculation value seemed to be fine but the wiring for the other tank appeared to be completely fried and the tank needed to be replaced. Russell disconnected that tank but, afterwards, the first tank still tripped the circuit breaker. Russell fixed that issue and disconnected the power to the second water heater. My wife and I were then able to use the single tank until a replacement could be made. Russell arranged to have someone from Corley check out the electrical system and replace the defective water heater on Tuesday. Sean came out on Tuesday and replaced the defective water heater and also addressed the high pressure issue. Our leak and high water pressure issues were resolved! Thank you Sean. We will stay with Corley for now but the fact that we had to have four visits from them to replace our water heaters seemed a bit much. My time is valuable and it just adds to the high cost of their visits."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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.

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.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.
