Legacy Power has earned a reputation for reliability in one of the most difficult climates for standby power services. Because we are independent, we specialize in the service aspects of the business. We would prefer to keep your generator in terrific shape rather than just sell you a new one. Cross training our commercial electricians and mechanical technicians also helps us to keep you up and running with whatever weather is thrown at us in the Pacific North West. Compliant work can be rare in the power industry. Not with Legacy Power. We know you rely on us for keeping current within your jurisdictional regulations. Whether it is mechanical work, electrical work or general construction you can rest assured that Legacy plays by the rules. Legacy is a group of talented and dedicated individuals and teams that take care of the small details. We have found, over time, that attention to detail is rewarded with a reputation for exemplary performance. We hope you’ll agree!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.

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. 

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.
