"The guys that came were absolutely awesome! Mason came in and I explained what we needed done, he was exceptionally professional and very understanding. I showed him where we needed the fan installed and had only anticipated them to install the electric, we were going to install the fan later but the guys went the extra mile and not only just installed the fan but also installed the remote mechanism as well. The guys were extremely nice, I told them they didn’t have to do it that we could do it later and they said they were here and could do it quicker so they didn’t mind doing it at all. I even had another issue that had come up over the weekend in my kitchen, I asked if they could just scope it out and I could setup another appointment to fix it but Mason said no way, I will go ahead and fix that little issue right now. So not only did they install the electric, they put up my fan and installed the remote mechanism that I’d purchased separately, but they also fixed my issue in my kitchen! We cannot say enough positive things about the crew we had help us. I know I thanked them like 10 times but it still wasn’t enough, we are genuinely appreciative and impressed. We’ve already agreed if we have any other electric needs in our home we will call Mason at Cole Electric again! I’ve already recommended him to a few friends and family members!"

"The experience went very well! Upon installation of the new EV Charger install, David discovered that our control panel/ fuse box was having serious technical issues that we wouldn’t have discovered for sometime on our own. The whole control panel had to be changed out for a new one due to age of being over 40 something years old. The electrician/ owner went out his way to make sure we had our correct permits and rearranged his schedule the following day to fix the immediate issue. He was very professional and made sure everything exceeded inspection and safe equipment. David is very knowledgeable and we feel very comfortable with future projects and installations made by him! We are grateful to Good Shepherd for reaching out to us so quickly and Angi for this wonderful recommendation ."

William was present for the entire installation. We chose the copper system. We are glad for the peace of mind a lightning rod system will provide."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

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. 

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

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.
