"Stay away! I hired these guys Stan and his crew of untrained laborers to wire a $40,000 job for a commercial building. They were paid all their money and then when the electricity got turned on literally none of it worked. Then he spent hours complaining like a child that it was the Insulation guy?s fault because they can?t access the wires which is absolute insane. Literally none of his electrical worked and is now trying to charge me $8000 to fix his incompetence. I would never ever ever work with these people again."

"After being told by family how good Charleston Electric was, maybe I just had high hopes. I requested a quote for a 200amp panel upgrade and Chris came out as scheduled and was very friendly and personable. He told me he'd have a quote to me within a couple days. 2 days passed with no update so I called and spoke with Summer. She assured me I'd have a quote ready by the end of the next day. 2 more days go by with no update. I call again and am told it shouldn't be much longer. I wait another full day and nothing. Now when I call no one answers on 2 different occasions, 2 separate days/times, no response. I finally got them on the phone again today and again, she assured me I would at least get a call back. They are now closed and nothing. Unfortunately even established companies lie consistently. Almost 2 weeks wasted. Thank you."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

Yes, whole-house generators run constantly for extended periods. Whole-house generators can run for longer periods of time than portable generators, but be careful. First, they may need regular applications of engine oil (as frequently as daily), depending on the engine design. Second, running constantly for several days will increase the wear and tear on the generator and shorten its lifespan.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.
