Welcome to our comprehensive Home Generators Overview, a guide designed to provide you with essential information on the importance, benefits, types, costs, selection criteria, installation considerations, and the role of home generators in emergency preparedness.
During unexpected outages, a home generator ensures a stable power supply, enhancing safety by keeping essential systems operational. This includes medical devices and security systems, contributing to an overall safer environment. Additionally, the convenience of maintaining power for lights, heating, and electronic devices prevents disruptions to daily life.
Furthermore, with proper maintenance, home generators can offer extended power support, adding value to your home over time.
Generators come in various types, each with its advantages and considerations:
Determining the cost of a home generator involves various factors, such as type, capacity, and installation complexity. Typically ranging from a few thousand dollars for smaller units to over $10,000 for larger, more powerful generators, the investment considers long-term savings in potential property value and the preservation of essential systems during outages.
Choosing the right home generator involves careful considerations:
Proper installation is crucial, considering manufacturer guidelines, local codes, and regulations. The optimal location is often close to the gas supply to minimize plumbing costs.
Investing in a home generator is a strategic decision that enhances safety, convenience, and property value. By understanding the types, costs, selection criteria, installation considerations, and the role of generators in emergency preparedness, homeowners can make informed choices to ensure uninterrupted power during outages. Ensuring that your generator is correctly installed is paramount to your safety and to the successful function of your home's power.

Ideal electric did a great job on the installation of our generator and also the outlets and switches. Great pricing and service and will recommend their services to others I know.
Jeremy and his team came out and installed the generator in less than one day. It works great. They did professional work and left our place clean. They did accidentally take one of the pieces of sound/heat insulating foam that had fallen off with them when they cleaned up , but mailed it to me so I could easily stick it back on myself. Great overall experience, highly recommended. 👍
Jeremy, Julian, and Logan were very professional, on time, courteous, informative and work areas were all cleaned up. We will definitely hire them again. They installed a whole house generator.
Thanks again guys!
Jeremy and Julian are great. Happy to have a Generac generator! Thanks so much fellas!
Couldn't be happier with ideal electric, very professional and got my old generator working again.
I've had two great experiences with Jeremy and Ideal Electric, the most recent was installing a whole house generator. Not only was Jeremy able to do the job substantially cheaper than some of the bigger names, but he did an excellent job, and I can tell that he really cares about the quality of his work and taking care of his customers. I would 100% trust him for all my future electrical needs - I have total confidence that he'll do the job well, and at a fair price.
