"I live in Omaha, Nebraska and they have a satellite office here. Hire with extreme caution. You will need to be home every step of the way. If you have been impacted by water damage I offer you my sincere empathy. I'm in the trenches with you. I hired Deep Water Emergency Services after my main water line backed up sewage into my house. I was told to file an insurance claim to get the ball rolling. I was clueless about what a restoration company actually does. I thought they had a high-powered machines that could suck up all the water and just clean and sanitize my carpet and have equipment to get everything dried out. No they basically strip your house of anything the sewage water has touched and wicked its way into. Drywall, carpet, pad, vinyl flooring, insulation, and baseboards. I met with them for a walk through and then when I arrived home to find my basement gutted per the punch list I provided. They didn't get to everything on the list, which was understandable, it was a long list. They had about 20 plus bags of debris piled in the middle of the room with rolls of wet carpet and pad tossed into the mix and no way to haul it away. This was a minor concern...the next thing is was the kicker that put me over the edge. They had swept piles of dirt, mold, insulation and drywall and just left them...and had six high-powered fans running. Dust whirling everywhere! One fan was sitting on top of a pile of drywall debris and one was sitting next to a pile. REAL NICE! Dust is now all over my entire house. In my furnace and all of my duct work. Thank goodness I had covered all of my fabric furniture that I wasn't able to move out of the space. The other problems where that they showed up hungover the day after St Patties Day and would tell me each night that they would be back between 9 & 9:30 in the morning and no show. REAL NICE when you have planned to take time off work to meet with them. They didn't have all the tools necessary for the job. They needed a scoop shovel, broom, chalk line, measuring tape, and a skill-saw. And a way to haul the debris away. They could have measured two feet up the wall, popped a chalk line, set the depth of the saw and sawed around the room. Instead they sawed it all by hand. I guess that was their penance for being hung over. :) The guys where nice, well-groomed and polite, but not trained in best practices or on how to treat a person's property or be respectful of their time. I also feel I was over sold on the extent of the damage. My basement area is approximately 600 sq feet and they charged almost $3000.00. The rest of the damage is going to cost about another $5000.00 to repair and replace."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

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 cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.
