"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

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

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.
