"After we had completed some remodeling in the downstairs of our home . . . to make more room for guest quarters and general family use . . . we noticed that whenever we had guests stay with us . . . we were tripping a fuse . . . it just seemed that if the wrong combination of things were plugged it . . . pow . . . darkness in odd places throughout the house.  We'd simply re-trip the fuse box and life would go on BUT OVER TIME it became EMBARRASSING.  It would happen more often (especially with added electrical decorations) during the holidays.  We finally told ourselves ?there MUST BE a way to FIX this problem.  Lets get this taken care of before the next wave of friends, family and holidays come.?
We went to Angies list for an electrician recommendation and we really appreciated the reviews given for Thompson Electric.  The comments were the kind I would hope to be able to make for whoever we chose to come.   So I called Tom of Thompson Electric.  Tom first came by to get a first-hand feel for the work that we were wanting him to get done.  He was prompt, professional, walked with me through the house as he made an itemized list of what needed to be tackled.  He actually solved a fixture problem in one of our bathrooms (in 90 seconds) . . . and smiled.  I shared our list of electrical stuff that we wanted some professional attention; a couple of lighting fixtures that didn't work; a bathroom fan that made a horrible noise; some sockets that had burn marks around the openings; etc. and the BIG BLOW THE FUSE "Something's wrong with our downstairs wiring?? problem.
Tom was EXTREMELY GREAT about being available and flexible to our personal schedules.  One time I had to do an "oops" cancel of a day and it wasn't a problem.
On the day that Tom was to commence his work . . . he was GREAT about keeping in telephone contact on his actual arrival time in the morning (he needed to finish up a small task before coming our way) . . . he went right to work . . . very methodical, professional, with a all the tools and equipment needed for each task.  He brought in his assistant (a little later that day) to help him with some of the extensive troubleshooting, rewiring, running line [for the BIG problem] . . . and VIOLA the big problem and challenges were ALL fixed . . . basically in ONE visit.  [there was one small part that he had to come back to install a day later . . . took all of 10 minutes].
Tom was pushy . . . always recommended the most economical direct fix . . . shared my options as to how this or that could be best solved before proceeding. 
They CLEANED UP after themselves as they went . . . Tom found and fixed a couple of "other" small socket problems that he discovered along the way (and I had forgotten about).  I was VERY PLEASED with his work; his service; and final bill . . . which was MORE than FAIR considering the amount of work that needed to be done!!
It was a FIRST CLASS POSITIVE experience from beginning to end . . . AND I told a colleague of mine that I now have "an electrician" ....someone I know I can call when and if there's ever an electrical problem!!

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

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.
