"When I made the request on Angi's List, Gonelectrical called me within seconds. We talked about installing a whole-home surge protector. I traded some photos of my panels and received a quote over the phone. The job was scheduled for the next day. They showed up promptly and completed the work professionally. They explained what they did and showed me exactly what was done. I would recommend this company for similar work."

"I had my whole house rewired. The job was done right and efficiently, and customer service was always great. I had no problem getting in touch with the company with any questions. The workers were wonderful; always helpful and didn’t mind me asking any questions. I heard no complaints; the weather was hot, but they got the job done in the estimated timeframe. I commend them."

"Josh and his team are THE BEST: professional, prompt, caring, thorough, kind, and really Christ-like in every way. They communicate better than any other business I've encountered. I strongly recommend them . I had been told that it would take six months to get a generator. Josh understood my need and got to work on it, immediately. They installed a generator within three weeks. I'm so grateful for them. N.C."

Generator Install questions, 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.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

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.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.
