"Dedicated electrical services was very professional, from the first phone call to get an estimate to completing the job. I needed six can lights changed from 'Peg' light bulbs to LEDs. The electricians that came to my home listened to what I had to say about the issue with the peg lights and provided options for a solution. During the installation of new light fixtures, that have a brightness setting, they checked after installing the first one to see if the light setting was okay before moving on with the rest. For the first time in a few years I finally have decent lighting in my kitchen. I no longer feel like I live in a cave. I will definitely be having Dedicated Electric Services come back and change out the remaining 'peg' lights in my home."

"Three electricians worked on the job & completed it in 3 1/2 hours! I was expecting it to be done in 5-6 hours. They even hooked their generator up to my big freezer! The City inspector just checked their work, said it was a job well done! I would definitely hire them again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

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.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.
