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

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

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. 

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

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.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.
