Right Choice Automotive Repair was created by licensed and certified automotive technicians to help you maintain and repair your car or light truck in a way that you can trust that you can understand, and is more affordable! There is more than one option here in Fairbanks for you to have your vehicle serviced and repaired, however, few of those choices offer the combination of over 25 years experience repairing and maintaining cars and light trucks, certified technicians, a good repair facility, prompt response to your needs, and affordable rates. We have loved ones of our own and the thought of them having to walk when it's thirty below or being overcharged for a simple repair is not the way we would have them be treated. We prefer to view all of our customers this way because they are all sons and daughters, aunts and uncles, moms and dads, and grandparents and treating them badly is just not an option for us!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

When installed and used correctly, generators are safe to use. The most critical generator safety tips to keep in mind are:

  • Never use a portable generator inside an enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide exhaust it creates is lethal.

  • Never attempt to connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel independently; hire a professional for this dangerous job.

  • Never overload your generator by connecting more appliances than for which it’s rated; you can damage your generator and appliances or even cause a fire.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.
