"Very professional, quality work and quality materials. Continued to work during extremely cold weather and finished work within a reasonable time frame. Will give a follow up review in March when they come back to stain the steps once the pressure treated wood has dried out. They exceeded my expectation."

"I hired Canaan Electric to install my new tanning bed because the plug was different and I had no idea what to do. I scheduled the initial meeting and it went so smooth! I immediately asked he they could do it and set the job up with Preston. He was SO professional and answered all of my questions (I had a lotttttt of questions). So thankful and would have him back again for any work I need!"

"I live in an older home and my house panel was in desperate need of being replaced. Justin came out and gave me a very reasonable quote on replacing the panel and within a few days he came back and replaced it. He was very clean with the work he did and very respectful to me and my family. All around great service and will definitely use him again for any future electrical services i need done."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

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.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
