"Very prompt and professional, installation was in a timely manner. Very helpful with any questions and explanations. After job was complete. Highly recommended."
"First, they were recommended to us for the whole house generator by home depot. We were so happy with the generator that we had him do a bathroom fan at my house and a bathroom fan at my son's house. I did some checking and that was a reasonable price. With the work he did, it was more than reasonable. The job was a little more involved than he thought it would be and he didn't have any problem with any of it. Without anything to judge the pricing from, other than online and a couple of guys I had come over who weren't on the same page as me, I'd say excellent. The quality was top of the line. As soon as he got the generator, he got over here to put it in. As a matter of fact, I am thinking about calling him again for something."

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.
Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.
Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.
Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.
