"On September 11, 2025, I hired Mr. Holland’s to clear and diagnose a main line clog. I was charged $738.04 for drain cleaning with a snake. The invoice states the technician attempted to snake the line multiple times but could not get it open, and because the drain was still impacted they were unable to camera the line. I was told the blockage was around 90 feet from the access point, but my own measurements showed that distance would place the problem across the street, which did not make sense. In reality, the blockage was never cleared and the scope I paid for was never attempted. Even though the line was still blocked and never scoped, I was given a written estimate for $39,900.34 to excavate and replace about 7 feet of my sewer lateral. That estimate included removing two sections of sidewalk, excavating down 9 feet, cutting out and replacing pipe with PVC and a cleanout, slurry backfill, and sidewalk replacement — but no landscaping restoration. No spot-repair options were offered. I later hired Subterranean Sewer Experts, who scoped the line and found the actual blockage about 30 feet inside the basement, not 90 feet away. They also scoped another access point closer to the street, which confirmed the sewer lateral was clear and did not need replacement. I had paid Mr. Holland for clearing a clog and performing a scope, neither of which were done. I was told by both phone and text that my payment would be refunded; I even saw the refund pending, but it was later reversed without notice. Because the blockage was left in place and the scope was never done, I was forced to hire another company and pay an additional $747.40 to complete the work Mr. Holland’s failed to perform. Based on my experience, I was charged for a service that was not performed, left with a blockage still in place, given a nearly $40,000 estimate for unnecessary sewer work, and denied a refund that was promised."

FAQs for generator install projects in Milwaukee, WI

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:

  • Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000

  • Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300

  • Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:

  • Experience frequent or prolonged power outages

  • Work from home

  • Store a lot of cold food

  • Have a sump pump

  • Have a pump for well water

  • Use electronic medical devices

  • Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
