"I would still like to hire CP, Hill, Davis or Circle S. but I don't know what to do from here. I would give them a better score If I could see their work on my home. I only marked ( would not hire them ) because there is no in-between. I have been trying to get some one to install a Transfer Switch for my new generator, I called ( Hill ) with no response then Home Advisor gave them my number and still no response. I called ( CP Electric ) with no response then Home Advisor suggested them And gave me their number. So what's the point of me calling them again. I first hire another Electrician (Circle S) he came out and gave me a bid but never showed up to do the job. I then called him three times and he never called back. I then called a fourth electrician (Davis Electric) 2 times and he never called back. This might be considered a small job but I think they should at least call you back and tell you that they can't do it for what ever reason. That's called doing good business. No disrespect to any of these businesses I'm just getting pretty frustrated trying to get something done. This is the same thing that happened when I tried to hire a roofer with Home Advisor , I still have a bad roof jack that is probably leaking water into my rafters causing damage. I have cash money and no one wants it. Is this Texas wide or just a Gilmer Problem. Never had these issue where I used to live. Home Advisor does not work at least not here."

Small jobs welcome

Hello my name is Seth Savage and I owned a small business that I started to just give me and my family a little bit of financial freedom. At the same time I do what I do because I love it.\n\nI do not price gouge, when you get a price from m is the very bottom dollar and a great product in return for you as the customer to not be overwhelmed and for me and my family to make a little money.\n\nI am very passionate about my welding and wood working. I also build fences from barbed wire to chain link to wood privacy fences to pipe fence. I do add ons, remodels, bathroom renovations, and much more. Also your basic electric.

"The owner, Dave Fisher, recently installed a Home Guardian Backup Generator for my home. He did a great job of helping design a system that meets my needs. The installation works perfectly and looks great. Electrical and Lift Services did an A+ job of resolving all issues associated with the install. I highly recommend this dealer for a professional generator install."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

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

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

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

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

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.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

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.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
