“John Villars came to service my home‚ our electrical needs/repairs. He was prompt, polite and professional throughout his work visit. I had a new breaker box put in so that I could be grounded and up to code. He also updated a couple of electrical sockets and an outdoor one as well. I plan to have them back to correct two more items in my older home. He is so quiet and efficient and the price I feel was very reasonable!”

“Had issues with outside GFI outlet. Alec arrived on time and listened to the problem and replaced the outside GFI outlet. The issue didn’t occur again, but he still gave input on next steps if the problem recurs. I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He listened to me, and that doesn’t always happen with all companies. This is the second time I have used Five Star and I am now using them for everything HVAC, Plumbing, or Electrical.”

Frequently Asked Whole Home Generator Questions

You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers!

At Five Star Home Services, we recommend a generator size based on your home’s power requirements. Typically, a 20kW generator can cover most of the essential systems in an average home, but a detailed assessment is crucial for precise sizing.

The cost varies depending on the generator size and installation complexity. On average, installation can range from $5,000 to $10,000, including the unit and labor. Our team is happy to provide a detailed estimate tailored to your needs.

Generally, once the generator is delivered, installation takes about one to two days. This includes setting the generator, wiring, and testing to ensure everything is working correctly.

Yes, most areas in Ohio require permits for generator installation. Our technicians at Five Star Home Services handle all necessary paperwork and ensure compliance with local regulations.

Regular maintenance is key to reliable performance. This includes oil changes, filter replacements, and system checks. We offer maintenance plans to keep your generator in top condition.

While DIY installation might be tempting, we strongly advise against it due to the complexity and safety risks involved. Our certified electricians ensure a safe and professional installation, providing peace of mind for you and your family.
