"I call mr. Jacob, about my front yard lamp post. I had an issue with it not coming on at night time, Mr. Jacob gave me an appointment time, he inspected and told me what he could do to repair the light! He ordered the parts and came on back out and put the light back in service for me. This is a very professional business! Thank you lone Star Electric for taking care of my issue!"

"I couldn't be more thrilled with my generator purchase. They walked me through the process and worked with the city and got it installed. The power went out yesterday for several hours and guess what.... I had power. Thank you New Source for your hard work and dedication."

"Very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only repaired my issues but explained how it worked, why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again. They also came free of charge for a follow check up when I thought I was having an issue, but it turns out it was a misunderstanding on my part so the technician taught me once more and things have been perfe t since. I will never use another electrician."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator 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’t have many ongoing costs.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.
