"Hired Ryan to install a 30 Amp feed for a cooktop. After shopping around for cook tops, found it needed a 40 Amp feed. I contacted him with this update and also asked for a 30 AMP RV plug onn our outside wall. He had no problem in making the adjustment. His people showed up on time and proceeded to install the wiring from the electrical box to the kitchen. They then installed the outdoor box. The installers were pleasant to talk to and did not waste any time doing the install. They sealed all holes that had to be cut and cleaned up after themselves. Definitely would recommend Varsity Electric for anyone thinking about having electrical work done. Thank you Ryan. Add on. As we did not have the cook top on hand when they installed the circuit, they said to call them when it came in and they would install it. Also had to wait for the cutout to be enlarged. That happened today, so I call Varsity and they came out to finish the install. Technicians were conscientious and ensured we were happy with the work before they left. Again I would recommend this company. Would give them a higher rating, but the stars only go to 5. Again, Thanks Ryan and crew. Job well done."

"I needed an outlet added to the inside of our fireplace for the new gas fireplace fan. Jason showed up on time and got started on it even before the fireplace installation team showed up. He was courteous and gracious about having to wait. Once they arrived, he worked closely with the other team and did an excellent job on installing the outlet. I will definitely hire them again."

"They are my go to electricians. I have had others out in the past but stopped doing that once Varsity Electric completed our first of multiple electric projects. I have had them do light fixture replacements, troubleshooting and repairs, adding outdoor electrical and replace all outlet receptacles in the house and bringing them up to code. They have always been prompt, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to have electrical work done."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

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.

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.

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