"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

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

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

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.
