"I recently used Cubix Power for an electrical service project and was extremely impressed with their work. The team was professional from start to finish, arriving on time, explaining everything clearly, and making sure the job was done right. Their knowledge and expertise really stood out, and they were able to quickly diagnose and resolve the issue. On top of that, their pricing was very fair compared to other quotes I received. I highly recommend Cubix Power to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy electrical services"

"Trevor with Mountain To Valley Electric did a great job!!! He is very professional & very knowledgeable!! Trevor knew how to fix my outdoor lanterns (he rewired them) and even suggested how to make them better & last longer with very minor extra cost. I had a couple of extra things I ask him to fix while he was at my house & he was happy to fix my other small things. When he finished my projects he said, “If any thing is not working properly call me & I will be back & take care of it. Anything I work on I will make sure it is working properly.” This is the kind of person I want working at my house!!! Trevor is honest, trustworthy, dependable, has fair prices & guarantees his work. I will definitely use Trevor at Mountain To Valley Electrics again!!"

"Craig showed up when he said he would and gave me a quote. I had multiple quotes and his was not the cheapest but he was by far the most professional. I went with him and I am very pleased I did. He finished the job ahead of schedule and the quality of the work is very impressive. Would highly recommend Freeze Electric."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.

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 $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’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.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
