"I wanted to have a couple 20 amp outlets installed in the garage, since I regularly use power tools rated at 12-20 amps. My current garage outlets are on a 15 amp circuit, and I was having to run extension cords from outlets outside into the garage. After talking with Luis and Amber they gave me a quote very quickly and we got the work scheduled within a week. Luis showed up on time and was very professional and takes me through everything he was doing and why he was doing it. (I can be nosey) the job was finished in just under 3 hours and I have now have 4 new outlets that I can run all my tools from. Thank you to Luis and Allied Electric!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Denny Electric for the installation of electrical service to my new backyard spa, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, Denny demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and a strong work ethic. He worked hard to ensure the job was done right, and it shows—his attention to detail and commitment to a clean, organized installation really stood out. Every aspect of the wiring was carefully planned and executed, resulting in a finished product that not only looks great but is also safe and reliable. I highly recommend Denny Electric to anyone in need of electrical services. It’s rare to find someone who takes such pride in their work and delivers this level of quality. I’ll definitely be calling Denny for any future projects!"

"I hired Danny to move several outlets from the lower kitchen area to above counter height and to add a switch for a new garbage disposal I am planning to add to our sink. Danny was great and he worked with my schedule and while here he did a great job making sure everything worked and went above and beyond what I contracted him for."

"Garth and Andy from Ponderosa Electric came to my house and reviewed my projects. They were very knowledgeable and had great ideas for me. They directed me to Home Depot and who to talk to there for my supplies. They are coming back to do the work next week. Although Garth had a medical issue and couldn’t be here, Andy was very capable. He installed all lights, tested them, made sure I was happy, and cleaned up any mess. He was polite and professional. Even though he was working solo, he assured me he would take whatever time was needed to get the work done correctly, and he did. I am very pleased and would recommend them."

"Mario and his crew did an excellent job with my barn wiring and lighting. They took a two or three day job and made it a long single day effort. Their work is clean, measured and professional. The guys are friendly and skilled. Definitely going to have them do some additional work down the road with an RV garage and whole house generator install."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.
