"I recently had a whole-house generator installed by Nick and his crew. I must say it was a pleasure dealing with this company, from the office staff to the installers. Everyone was so accommodating and mindful of my concerns and requests. The parts and tools they brought took up half of my back yard but at completion of the job, which took a full day, everything was removed and all my planters and other things were put back as before. A very seamless operation indeed. I would not hesitate to recommend LT generators."

"A true professional. Went above and beyond to help explain to me all of my options when hooking up a generator to my home. Work was done quickly and I was very impressed."

"My solar system was installed by a now bankrupt company. I loss power totally in May. Solar Services came in and found the problem which was a bad inverter that was verified by the vendor SolarEdge who promptly sent out a replacement unit at no charge as the inverter was under warranty. Solar Service Pros replaced the defective unit and I'm up and running again in two weeks. Great service, will do business with them again!"

"They were very responsive. The owner of the company was here the day after we called to inquire, and we liked his answers to all of our questions. We made an immediate decision to hire them to install a 'stand-by' generator. First, the delivery of the generator was amazingly fast and then the installation was done promptly and professionally. There were enough people here to complete the installation. Within a few days a stucco repair man was here to patch the necessary holes. All-in-all, the overall service, responsiveness and professionalism were of the highest standards. I highly recommend Mr. Ariel Kahane and his crew of ADI Electrical Services."

Customers say: Quality work

"**Highly recommended** Because Richard at Hollywood Electricians is a one-man operation, you are guaranteed quality work (no passing work onto lackeys and unlicensed illegals). I described my half-dozen individual problems to Richard, and he responded with a creative, effective solution that dealt with all my needs while causing no damage to my home. He did all the work himself with quality materials and on time. I shopped this job to three Home Advisor recommended outfits. The first one simply never responded. The second one showed up on time and took a good look at the job. He viewed my half dozen issues as individual tasks, each needing an individual fix. He had no strategy and was soon planning jerry-rigged solutions and dramatic holes in my drywall. He didn't bother with a written invoice. His verbal price was good, but it ignored the mess he would create for me. I'm pleased to have hired Richard. I got well-executed, intelligent work. Note: only 4 stars for customer service. He was late to start, but he still did all the work in the two days we discussed."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.
