"Our experience with Never Dark Whole House Generators from start to finish was remarkable! It started with the salesman clearly explaining all of our options including the "six month" wait for install. The prices were clear as was the timeframes. The install crew was quick and professional and completed the install within one day and was coordinated the county inspection. Overall, this process was enjoyable. I would highly recommend Never Dark Whole House Generators to anyone seeking this service."

Inspired Electrical Solutions Inc specializes in the sales, installation and maintenance of generac automatic standby generators for your home or small business, and offers a full range of other services from home additions, to wiring, to electrical inspections and much more.

"The work is still on going but I cannot say enough about Inspired Electrical. Starting with the incredible service from the company's call screener (if that is the right term), Rosie, she put me on the schedule right away. Thomas was the first to my house. He listened intently to my description of the problem and proceeded to test the generator components, all while having B&S Technical support on the line. He diagnosed the issue as the rotor/stator had gone bad (B&S no longer manufactures the item for this model of generator). He then gave me an unofficial quote for for a direct replacement of a more modern B&S generator (direct swap) with a ten (10) year warranty. We also discussed adding my AC to the system. Later I scheduled a formal estimate with Scot. A true gentleman who explained everything step by step, to include looking for ways to get the job done and quoted me a price less than I expected as well as describing for me a future service contract for annual testing and maintenance at an extremely reasonable price. I'm waiting for the order of a new generator to be placed and then to schedule for the work to be completed. I expect this to be just as satisfactory as this review, but Inspired Electrical is my go-to for future generator and electrical issues!"

"GO ANYWHERE ELSE. They don't even deserve one star. I used this company for annual Generac service for several years, without issues. However, at the latest annual service call, the technician -- without my knowledge or authorization -- installed a $600 part (which I am not convinced even was necessary, as the generator had been running fine). The whopping-big invoice I received a week or so later was a nasty surprise. They apologized when I contacted them. The woman with whom I spoke, who claimed to be the owner, even told me that they'd recently had other complaints about that technician recently?! I paid for the unauthorized work, which I felt was pretty generous of me. Today, my power went out. As expected, the generator kicked on automatically. The only problem is that it didn't provide any power to my house. Technician screw-up X2. I called to request an urgent service call to fix the error and was told a technician was there in the office and would be right out. When he eventually arrived, the fun really started. First, he chastised me for being "mean to [his] mother" on the phone?! (For the record, I'd been nothing but polite her. I'd merely reiterated that the annual service call had been a problem, and that I was in the middle of an emergency as a result.) He claimed to own the company and said he doesn't need problem customers like me; I am welcome to take my business elsewhere. Hoo boy. I'll spare you the details of the rest of our conversation, which continued in the same vein. Fortunately, my power had come back on in the meantime, so I wasn't at the mercy of this surly, petulant man. I went inside while he went around the house to the generator. Soon thereafter, a heard him drive away. I had no idea what, if anything, he'd done or if the problem was fixed. I called the business once again and informed Mr. Surly's mother of what had gone down. Apologies and acknowledgment that Mr. Surly is not a people person. Then another man, the third one to tell me he's the business owner, got on the phone with more apologies and acknowledgment that Mr. Surly is not a people person. "That's not how we treat our customers." Well apparently, it is. TL;dr: Any other company in the region will do better work and treat you better than All Install. Spare yourself the grief and steer clear."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
