"The crew very polite and informative. The whole house generator installed in one day and my place was left clean. The installation project was done in a cosmetic pleasing manner and no ugly pipes or wires are visible. I was given a detailed cost of the project and kept informed at all times. It was not the lowest bid but the work was excellent and I am very happy with the finished project. The office staff are very helpful and their excellent service and detailed bid is why I chose to go with LT Generator."

"Perfect and smooth journey, Jorge came pre instillation to check the electrical panel and where the the charger was going to be installed and after the review he text me the cost of parts and installation, after I received the charger he came on time and the job was completed. I was updated by text messages throughout the process. In the future if I need any electrical work I definitely use JK Flores Enterprise."

"10/10 service. What impressed me most about Mr. Electric was how clean they left the house after every visit. Not a speck of dust or drywall mess anywhere. They installed a new 200-amp panel and updated all our outdated wiring. Professional, honest, and truly cared about doing it right."

"I recently had an electrician install an EV plug in my garage for my Tesla Model Y, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was the first to contact me and even came out right away to assess the job, which gave me confidence from the start. Others contacted me, but none of them took the time to come and evaluate everything in person. The electrician arrived on time for the installation, explained everything clearly, and made sure the work was done up to code. The job was clean and neatly finished, no messy wires or unnecessary holes. He also tested the outlet with me to confirm proper charging before leaving. My Tesla charges perfectly now, and I have peace of mind knowing it was done safely and correctly. Pricing was fair for the quality of work, and he was very knowledgeable about EV charging requirements. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to add an EV plug at home or any Electrical projects you have."

"I was very happy with the service from William at Garafano Electric. I left a voice message and he returned the call within a day to set an appointment and to understand the specifics of what I needed to insure that he brought the correct parts. He let me know up front that there was a minimum one-hour charge for the visit. On the day of the appointment, William arrived precisely at the agreed time. The light switch repair was a small job that only took about 15 minutes and I'm very happy with the quality of the job and the new switch. William asked if I had other electrical tasks needed doing so that I could get the full benefit of the hour. The only item I could think of was that the bulbs in the living room fixture needed to be replaced, but it's a cathedral ceiling and too high for me to reach. I did not have the correct bulbs on hand, so William drove to Home Depot, purchased the bulbs and then installed them for me, all within the one-hour charge. This was well beyond what I expected a service provider to do and I was very pleased with the customer service. I would certainly hire Garafano Electric again."

"I can't recommend Ken Johnson and his team, enough. They gave me a reasonable rate for a brand new electric panel and installed it in only a couple of hours. They even made sure to keep my refrigerator hooked up to power so it stayed cool. Of course, they are following Covid protocols, and were very efficient in their time. They did a really good job on the panel. I would absolutely hire these gentlemen again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

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.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.
