"I had an excellent experience working with Andy and Chris for our electrical needs. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. They arrived promptly, assessed the situation quickly, and explained everything clearly before getting started. The job they completed was absolutely phenomenal. Their attention to detail, workmanship, and commitment to doing things the right way truly stood out. You can tell they take pride in their work. Not only was the quality outstanding, but they also worked efficiently and completed everything much faster than expected without cutting any corners. It’s rare to find contractors who combine skill, professionalism, and speed the way Andy and Chris do. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality electrical work. I will definitely be calling them again for future projects!"

"Thank you Home Advisor I felt hopeless in trying to find an Electrician that would come out to our farm and do provide all the work that we needed done. When I contacted Graf Electric they came right out and gave us a bid. Emily was who I spoke with first and she was so kind and helpful in answering my questions and getting everything set up. Sonny the owner came out and did the bid and the work which was all fair in price and perfect in every way. We highly recommend Graf Electric and plan on hiring them again in the near future. Thank you so much."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

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. 

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.
