"My contractor from Miller Electric was Taylor. I highly recommend him for electrical needs (removed old fixtures; rewired, installed canned lighting and dimmer switches). He was punctual, experienced; answered all of my questions cheerfully; provided fast, friendly, efficient service; cleaned the work at the end of each work day-an absolute joy to work with! The experience exceeded my expectations. I will definitely hire Miller for any future electrical needs."

"DES installed 2 new electrical outlets, 2 new electrical panels, 3 wall heaters with dedicated circuits, and other miscellaneous electrical work. They explained options and what they would need to do to get the job done correctly. They arrived at the scheduled times, worked around our dog, explained the work they were doing, were friendly and easy to work with, and explained color and size options. When a light malfunctioned, they quickly scheduled an appointment for the waranty work which I am very satisfied with. I would hire them again."

"Outstanding service from start to finish! I couldn’t be happier with the job this company did installing our TV mount above the fireplace. From the moment they arrived, everything was handled with professionalism, precision, and care. The installation was fast, incredibly clean, and extremely efficient, no mess left behind and every detail thoughtfully executed. They clearly know what they’re doing and took the time to make sure the TV was perfectly centered, secure, and positioned for the best viewing experience. The final result looks sleek, polished, and exactly what I had envisioned. If you’re looking for a team that delivers top-tier workmanship, respects your home, and exceeds expectations, look no further. Highly recommend and would absolutely use them again!"

"I recently had a generator installed by Emerge Electrical, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received from start to finish. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. The technicians arrived promptly and took the time to explain the entire process to me, answering all my questions about generator size, maintenance, and functionality. They worked efficiently and carefully, ensuring that the installation was seamless and met all safety standards. The team also took great care to keep my home clean, laying down protective covers and cleaning up after themselves. What really stood out to me was their attention to detail. They made sure the generator was properly tested and walked me through how to operate it, providing useful tips for maintenance and troubleshooting. The generator itself has been running smoothly ever since, giving me peace of mind during power outages. I highly recommend Emerge Electrical for anyone in need of electrical services or generator installation. Their professionalism, expertise, and exceptional customer service set them apart from others in the industry. They’ve earned my trust, and I won’t hesitate to call them for any future electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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. 

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.
