"Preston and his crew were extremely busy with the fires in the area but still made time to get our project done. They did an outstanding job and did a very clean looking appearance on the home. Overall very pleased and will definitely look to use Eagle again for our future jobs."

"Thomas at Thunderbird Power is fantastic. He KNOWS his trade (a 3rd generation electrician)! Had 2 electricians last year try to fix some broken outlets, after 1.5 hours couldn't figure it out. Another electrician troubleshot it recently and his diagnostic tests ended up NOT being the issue. Thomas had them fixed in 30 minutes and didn't have separate charges for troubleshooting ontop of fixing, just took care of it. He was WAY cheaper than all the other electricians who quoted me in the area for that and replacing all our light fixtures + fixing other issues; I spoke to 6 different electrians in depth about our projects (8 including previous guys). He was the ONLY electrician who did not make a big deal about fans, nor talked small projects into huge ones and needing a second person to help him with all the work, etc. But he did the work in the same amount of time, alone. He was very professional, timely, detail-oriented, neat, and personable (dogs ADORED him). Will hire again!!!"

"AP&L is very professional, knowledgeable, clean, and met the requirements of our build schedule. We built a 3800 sq ft contemporary home with back up generator. Very knowledgeable and assisted with lighting design and low volt controls for window treatments and security. Pricing was competitive and crew was onsite as scheduled with all materials need to complete the project. Highly recommended!"

"I needed cat5 installed into the walls before a painter was scheduled and they were able to schedule me quickly. Kevin was very helpful with a couple issues and even found a safety problem we didn't know we had. He went above and beyond what we hired him for. He and his partner were fast, efficient, helpful and very pleasant to work with. We will hire them again. Great company!"

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.

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

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.
