"Workers left holes in eves after installing two exterior outlets for AC units, stepped through and into the ceiling, did not mention anything until I brought it to the supervising installers attention (repaired by Kent, no cost), installers left without confirming nor showing how to enable them outlets installed have no power."

Female/ Vetran owned residential and commercial electrical business. We can do anything from building ADUs, panel upgrades, running new circuits for electric appliances and cars, and troubleshooting/repairing electrical issues.

"April (Spadaro Electric) not only displayed exceptional skills, but she also came to my rescue in a challenging situation. A previous contractor had installed my electric panel box upside down, causing it to short out whenever it rained due to water infiltration. This mistake required everything to be rewired. April efficiently addressed this issue, ensuring that my electrical system was not only fixed but also made safe and reliable. Her dedication, professionalism, and military background made me confident in her abilities, and I’m truly grateful for the excellent work she did. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of electrical services."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.
