"Work was well done, and they thought about how to best install the outlets to serve the needed purpose. Installation was quick and professional, they also cleaned up after themselves. I will use Thundercolt Electric for future electrical needs."

"I had finally broke down and bought a generator. When I called one of the big guys they said they would show up at a certain time. Lets just say they did not. When I called to their office all I got was the run around. I was referred to James Griffin Electric by a friend and when I called I was surprised the owner actually answered. He was able to get out there very promptly and got me going. I will definitely be using him again and referring him in the future."

"Xavier diagnosed the situation and determined the trouble was the outdated main disconnect had a broken contact. He coordinated with CPS, the electricity supplier, and the company?s installer to remedy the problem quickly. He took time with me to explain everything and gave me a price quote in advance. He had been recommended to me by an elder in my church who had used him and said their price quote was a thousand dollars less than the other quote he got. Xavier is a great guy and now I consider him one of my friends. He is a honest old school electrician that believes in treating the customers with concern and care. I very seldom give reviews but this time I will rate their service as excellent."

"I had a fantastic experience with Voltsmith Electric. After hitting some confusion with a charger installation from another company, Mike came out, knew exactly what he was doing, and got our Level 2 EV charger installed and running at full power with no hassle. He was prompt, professional, meticulous with his work, and cleaned up everything before leaving. A completely smooth process from start to finish."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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. 

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.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.
