Get matched with top generator install pros in Seagoville, TX

Q: Can you run a natural gas generator constantly all day?

• <div><p>Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there&rsquo;s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy a solar battery or a generator?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re deciding between a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-batteries-vs-generators.htm">solar battery versus a generator</a> for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don&rsquo;t have many ongoing costs. </p></div>

Q: How can I reduce carbon monoxide emissions from my natural gas generator?

• <div><p>Carbon monoxide emissions aren&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to install a generator?

• <div><p>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 <b>$50 and $250</b>, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you&mdash;and might be required to do so by your building department&mdash;but you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do I know what size generator I need?

• <div><p>When <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-generator-do-i-need.htm">choosing the right size generator</a> for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you&rsquo;ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:</p><ul><li><p>Refrigerator: 600 watts</p></li><li><p>Large dehumidifier: 700 watts</p></li><li><p>Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts</p></li><li><p>Water heater: 3,000 watts</p></li></ul><p>Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. </p></div>

"I had used Arrow twice before, many years ago, and found them reasonable. I cannot say that now; the service was horrible and overpriced. My appointment was from 11 to 2; the technician showed up at 4:45. Yes, he called and said he would be there after 3 but that is still very late from my original appointment time. I had a damaged breaker and failed panel section. The tech got to work and within 15 minutes the pool equipment had power and was running. He had to disconnect my spa equipment to get the main pool equipment working. I was a shocked that he did that without getting my permission/concurrence; he should have asked before doing so. Especially since he told me after the fact that the whole panel needs to be replaced (at a cost of $900+) to get all the equipment working. Their pricing is deceptive. They charge a $69.99 service charge just to show up. Then they charge a diagnostic fee based on levels not hours. Before starting work, the tech quoted me a diagnostic fee of $434 for up to two hours or what I understood to be $217 per hour. Well they don't charge by the hour, they charge by the diagnostic level. They charged me $268 for 20 minutes of work plus the service fee. Total bill of almost $350. When I called the next day to express my disappointed in the service and the deceptive pricing, the person on the phone did not seem to really care. I get the impression this company does not care about residential clients and is more geared toward commercial clients."
