"C.G.S. was very informative about the process and gave a good time frame for start to finish. They were very transparent with the cost, materials, and labor. C.G.S. also contacted me when an unforeseen change was needed and discussed my options and which one I was comfortable with. Overall, I was satisfied with the cost and work they did. I would recommend C.G.S for your electric needs."

"Once I accepted the quote from Silver Star Elect. The owner quickly organized and coordinated all the intities involved with upgrading my power supply from a 125 to 200 amp. Service. New 200amp power box with cut off switch, two 100 amp breakers, new can for meter and new 2/0 wiring from Power box to weather head. I just suggested changing out my security light to a new LED light that I would have had to rent a man lift to do, The crew told me “ Sir, we are here and will install it for you. They were willing to do this at no additional cost, but I made them take a little extra money. I am truley greatful to Home advisors for hooking me up with Silver Star Elect. ( Exelent Job) very satisfied customer. James Husak"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

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.

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. 

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.
