"Total Electric is the definition of dependable. Rather I need switches replaced, a whole house wired, or anything in between, they are prompt and professional. I’ve built new construction, and have remodeled older homes, both of which Total Electric shows up on time and knocks out the job within my budget. I can not recommend this company enough! Simple. Fast. Efficient. Everytime."

"With more than 25 years of living in Fort Smith and having a variety of electrical issues to address on 10 properties during that time, I can positively say that Quentin and Good Boy Electric are my absolute 1ST CHOICE to call when I need ANY electrical work done! Every time I have used Good Boy Electric has been such a pleasant experience. They are prompt, respectful, honest and fair in their pricing, very competent and the group as a whole has a great work ethic. My last job Quentin did was literally a big mess to fix, due to previous electrical contractors poor workmanship but Quentin and his team at Good Boy came in and quickly put everything in good order. I can't thank Good Boy Electric enough for their top notch service! They are the BEST!"

"Highlights: Provided quote up front Provided a time line for completion Supplied the materials and labor Tweaked projects as my interested changed Highly reputable - did what they promised to do Trustworthy - earned my trust early and never caused me to doubt them; didn't even have to be home while they worked Clean freaks - they laid drop cloths along their walking paths and draped off rooms that are to be kept from construction dust. Turnkey jobs including electricians, plumbers, drywallers, floor layers Didn't expect payment until the job was complete In short, we contacted ACDC for a remodel quote for our kitchen and laundry room. This was a full gut job taken to the studs and slab. We have a chef's kitchen now with potfiller at the stove, counter depth frig, travertine floors and more. Once the ACDC team got started and helped me brainstorm ideas, my project grew to include a new living room mantel. We then added the 2 bathrooms to the list. This was our first project. It went well. As road bumps came up, they helped me navigate the choices. Our second project was a concrete pad and with a gas-powered generator. They demo'd the area, poured a new pad and installed the generator. Our third project was to repair termite damage to a wall in a bedroom. After Orkin treated and cleared it for rebuild, ACDC's crew removed all damaged areas, reconstructed the walls, textured the walls and painted. It's better than new! Our fourth project just finished. We replaced a sewer line under our home. Once the line was replaced and the new slab poured, we installed new flooring in the the room and adjacent hallways. The ACDC crew did a wonderful job laying travertine to match the pattern we used during the kitchen reno. For good measure, we added new baseboards. Without a doubt, my next remodel project will go to ACDC."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

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. 

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.
