"Hector came by and gave me a quote. Explained what I needed done to setup my level 2 EV Charger from Electrify America. They came out, showed up early. Got everything done on a timely manner, Even hardwired the station, instead of installing an outlet. Hook up my Car before they left and everything is charging and working great. Great business, Great employees."

"I needed a electrician to help me as I'm selling my house and needed some things fixed. I called cosmic comfort and they were very polite. The lady got someone out for me the very next morning. They sent me text messages for reminders and even sent me a message that he was on his way. The young man who came was fantastic! He fixed all of my outlets, fixed wiring issues and installed a ceiling fan and mounted the remote to my wall. Not only was he very knowledgeable he was very polite and professional. Fixed all my issues and was fast. I definitely would recommend any one needed a electrician to use this company. I will definitely be using them again for any other electrical needs."

"I have been wanting to hang flat screen televisions in my son's room and in my master bedroom for years. I finally decided to pull the trigger, but first, I needed new power outlets installed where the television would be mounted. Sergio was the first pro to reach out to me. Sergio scheduled an in home quote with me right away and arrived at the time he said he'd be here. He was very friendly and explained the entire scope of work to me and my wife. We scheduled an install date for two days later. On the day of installation, Sergio again showed up on time. Sergio originally told me that the project would take him approximately 2-3 hours to complete. He completed the project in 1 hour. The quality of his work was absolutely perfect. He even went above and beyond and marked exactly where the studs were behind the wall for me. I highly recommend Sercerval Electric LLC. A+++++ company!!!!!"

"We had a great experience with Fox Electric. Tony went above and beyond with his customer service and the level of work was high quality. He walked us through every step of the process when we upgraded our main panel to a 200 amp service. All that and his bid was considerably under what we had received from others."

"Reliable Electric did a great job installing the plug and new GFCI breaker for my EV car charger according to the national codes. They arrived on time and worked efficiently to complete the work. The pricing was fair, and there were no surprise costs. Overall, I highly recommend Reliable Electric for any electrical jobs and would hire them again. They speak English, Punjabi and Hindi!"

FAQs for generator install projects in Hilmar, CA

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:

  • Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000

  • Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300

  • Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:

  • Experience frequent or prolonged power outages

  • Work from home

  • Store a lot of cold food

  • Have a sump pump

  • Have a pump for well water

  • Use electronic medical devices

  • Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
