"I had told them I would be buying an EV and they said to give them a ring when I was ready to install the charger. Bought the car on Saturday, called them on Monday, installed on Thursday with no drama, apparently excellent workmanship, and in a timely manner. They were even able to do it without disturbing our internet access despite having to move breakers around."

Customers say: Quality work

"The owner who came out to give me an estimate talked me out of the $10,000 generator after assessing my needs. Instead her recommended a gasoline generator. The generator was set up on a wheeled cart for easy mobility, a battery for easy start and long enough cord so the generator can sit away from the house when in use."

"Nathan was very professional and very helpful. When he finished he explained clearly what had gone wrong and what I can do in the future to avoid it. He made some suggestions to make this old house work better that I have taken to heart. I heartily recommend Nate. He was polite, efficient, knowledgeable, and professional, and pleasant to be around."

"Starting with the sales process, Nate was informative and great. Could've sold me a more expensive replacement system, but instead identifies how my current system cod be retrofitted with a heat pump. That sold me on G&S right there. Everything from the initial install review, the office staff working with my lender, to Izaak and the install and electrical teams, was punctual, informative and professional. I've had several bad experiences with other contractors, but I would confidently recommend G&S for any job and plan to use them again for a generator switch install. Good people with a good business. Thank you G&S!"

"Brett came out to size up my job and provide an estimate. I was installing solar panels for a backup generator. He came out 2 weeks later to do the job. Brett did a great job and ensured all was working and spent the time explaining how the system worked and how to monitor it. Brett was very patient and meticulous in his work and very knowledgeable. I would definitely hire him again. Thank you, Brett!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.
