"I had such a great experience with the team that rewired my house! They installed new outlets and lights, plus this amazing 12 AWG wire that really helps prevent breakers from tripping. I couldn't recommend them more for anyone needing electrical work!"

"I was impressed how quickly they contacted me to discuss my project, within in minutes I had someone schedule to come and look at the site and discuss what we needed. One week later there were at my house replacing the generator. The tech arrives on time and provide on-going update on the process. They left the project site so clean you would never know I have any work done in the area. I would highly recommend."

"Breaker Brothers will be our go to electricians for any upcoming projects. They were always on time or early and did exactly what they promised. We hired them to install our Tesla charger and since then, they have also installed a whole new panel box and generator transfer switch."

"I needed an outlet added to the inside of our fireplace for the new gas fireplace fan. Jason showed up on time and got started on it even before the fireplace installation team showed up. He was courteous and gracious about having to wait. Once they arrived, he worked closely with the other team and did an excellent job on installing the outlet. I will definitely hire them again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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.

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.
