"Date: March, 2016. Estimate: $300-$500. Actual Cost: $665. Work performed: Installed 2 light fixtures in garage, removed, purchased, installed the outside door fixture, completely checked the circuit breaker box for dishwasher issue & changed out circuit breakers to help narrow down the dishwasher issue. Heck, they even checked my battery operated drill to help me figure out if the problem was the charger or batter(s). Prepared for the $500 charge, but when the final bill came in, I paid it - gladly. Why? Because this company did not take advantage of me. I may have been behind the actual final cost for the hourly pay/benefit scale for a electrician and helper; but, I was pretty close when I finally figured in one electrician & one helper. The guys were here for 3/4 of the work day (minus lunch break) and they were thoughtful, careful, and really addressed any and all of my electrical concerns. And, to boot, both handled my big dogs wonderfully. I can honestly say, after building one house in Midland County & remodeling my current home in the city, Unity Electric is probably the only contractor or subcontractor I would not have taken to court - and I did win. I wish there were more reliable and honest contracts for home repair as this company."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.
