"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"The reviews below me said it best: Ezra was fantastic! He was prompt, professional, and very informative. He explained to me each of the things he was doing, what he looked for in an audit, and what to expect. He also answered all of my questions about the kind of improvements that were worth it and those that were a waste of money. We were required to have an Energy Audit to sell our home and our realtor recommended Ezra from Landmark construction & energy crew. Lucky for us, Ezra found no recommendations and gave us a good "bill of health." What I like more is that if he does have recommendations, he doesn't perform any work himself, providing a truly unbiased opinion.  I fully plan on having Ezra perform an audit of our next home, whether it is required or not."

"The technicians, Chris F, Tyler H and Christian C, were friendly and personable. Great job on my new water heater! Chris got me 18 month financing with no interest. I would definitely use them again!"

"The man arrived on time.  Mild argument about parking permit (we live in permit pkg neighborhood).  Although I didn't specifically request it, he didn't inform me about how much repairs would cost.  He expertly fixed our furnace and relit pilot light.  He explained about the machinery.  
I had bought an online coupon through AL, and provider office knew that.   Unfortunately, he didn't know about it, but he graciously applied it.  Had I forgotten about it, I would have been charged more.

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.

Leaving vents open but closing doors in unused rooms will probably not save money on your energy bill. Closed doors prevent the natural flow of air throughout the home, which could reduce the efficiency of the overall HVAC system. They could also restrict airflow into and through the return vents, making the HVAC system less efficient.

The extra insulation helps reduce energy costs by minimizing drafts and temperature exchange between indoors and outdoors.
