Our pledge is to create successful relationships with our customers, employees and community by building trust, treating every project with the utmost integrity and exceeding expectations.

"John from City Wide Electric was incredibly responsive—he quickly reached out, provided a clear quote, and scheduled the work without delay. He arrived on time on the day of the job and worked efficiently and professionally throughout. The project involved removing two recessed lighting ballasts from our kitchen and installing six new can lights. John completed the electrical work in about 2.5 hours. Shortly after, his drywall crew arrived to mud and texture the ceiling, seamlessly blending the new areas with the existing surface. Both John and the drywall team did an outstanding job. They were respectful of our space and left the kitchen spotless, just as clean as when they arrived. Best of all, everything was completed in a single day. I highly recommend City Wide Electric for their quality workmanship, professionalism, and excellent customer service. "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left 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.

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.

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.
