"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."

"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

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.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.
