"Colin was prompt with his communication, responded within 24 hours to any inquiries, and made smart recommendations when we hired him to install our L2 Charger and replace a burnt-out switch in our kitchen. He worked smart & safe and finished them both in less time than I expected it to take. We would hire/recommend Colin to anyone seeking big or small project repairs."

"Spencer and Logan O'Brien were amazing to work with. They, and their crew, were competent and trustworthy to be at our home during this construction job. Spencer is a very good communicator and responds to questions and requests in a timely manner. He was able to organize all the needed elements from land preparation to electrical to make the garage happen, leaving us with very little to worry about. We are completely happy with the end product of their labors and love how the new garage fits in with our existing home. We will absolutely look to O'Briens and Sons LLC for future projects around the home. Overall, the experience was professional, timely and a great investment! Thank you for making our garage come to life, Bill and Dierdra"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

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.

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.
