"Kyle, the owner of Canyon Electric, was recommended to us as a trustworthy electrician in the Black Hills area. We had purchased a vacation home in Lead and were having a hot tub and sauna installed. We needed to add 2 240 amp breakers, a new breaker box, and hard wiring both units. We are from across the state and had a deadline for the hot tub installation, which required all wiring done very specifically and in place. Kyle was out at our home wiring and prepping before we even arrived. He was in contact with our hot tub retailer and made sure everything was done perfectly. The wiring on both units was done efficiently. He even did work on one of our bathroom exhaust fans and had it going in quick order. Kyle was a very pleasant person to deal with and we were very impressed with the high standards of his work. We would highly recommend Canyon Electric for any and all of your electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

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.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
