"John came when he said he would come and did what he said he would do. This in itself is amazing. He was courteous and worked extremely hard to finish the job on time. The price was very fair. I would highly recommend John Templeton for your electrical work."

"My service needs were fairly urgent. On the Double took my inquiry via Home Advisor and contacted me within the hour. Brian sent a technician to my house to diagnose my a/c problem in the evening when most companies in the area would not even take calls let alone make a service call. Another company informed me it would be a week before repairs could be done due to it being peak repair season. Within 36 hours, not only was my a/c issue diagnosed, but On the Double installed a new unit for $400 less than the next best competitor's quote. - Aaron G. in Clarksburg, WV"

"I am more than pleased with the service I received from this company. Nathan is by far a caring human being. When the big companies couldnâ t help me out, he was there to service My Generac and he has been there ever since whenever I need him. Iâ ve been using this company for at least the last four years. And will continue to gladly call him when needed."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home
