"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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.
