"Mark at MW electric was outstanding. He took a difficult challenge and did a super great job installing a new transfer switch to my house electrical panel, which will allow me to hook up a generator and run my house if there is an electrical outage. I couldn't be happier, and he is great to work with and reasonable. I will hire him again."

"They were very responsive. The owner of the company was here the day after we called to inquire, and we liked his answers to all of our questions. We made an immediate decision to hire them to install a 'stand-by' generator. First, the delivery of the generator was amazingly fast and then the installation was done promptly and professionally. There were enough people here to complete the installation. Within a few days a stucco repair man was here to patch the necessary holes. All-in-all, the overall service, responsiveness and professionalism were of the highest standards. I highly recommend Mr. Ariel Kahane and his crew of ADI Electrical Services."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

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. 

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

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
