"I had my whole house rewired. The job was done right and efficiently, and customer service was always great. I had no problem getting in touch with the company with any questions. The workers were wonderful; always helpful and didn’t mind me asking any questions. I heard no complaints; the weather was hot, but they got the job done in the estimated timeframe. I commend them."

"Needed electrical outlets updated and replaced. Also had freestanding generator outlet wired into my existing panel. All was done on time and did not exceed budget. Clark was honest, consultative, efficient, and engaging. Highly recommend!!"

"Provision Electric did an amazing job replacing our outdoor entryway light. He was incredibly flexible when Amazon delayed delivery of the fixture and still worked with our schedule. Installation was quick and efficient, and he even went above and beyond by running to get light bulbs when I completely forgot to buy them. Excellent service, professional, and truly cared about making sure everything was perfect. We’ll definitely be using Provision Electric again for any future electrical needs!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

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.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

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.
