"The work was necessary after my attempt to replace 2 outlets and a dual switch was unsuccessful. Because this was in our kitchen and we do not have a stove yet, the issue was preventing us from cooking. Johnny scheduled the work the same day that I called, late in the afternoon on a Friday, and accommodated my schedule. He was very courteous not only while gathering the information as to what I had done, but also while working on the issue. In less than an hour, the issue was resolved and he explained what he found. Because of the unknown nature of the problem there was no quote. I was surprised in a good way by how much he wanted for the work, which included installation of 2 GFCIs and resolving issues with 2 separate circuits. He asked for less than half of what I had been quoted by 2 other companies who could not get to our home that day. I would highly recommend L.J.I to anyone."

"After my request for an electrician on Angi.com, I immediately received a call from Duncan who set up an appointment to give us an estimate. We agreed on the cost, and Duncan set up an appointment for the following morning. Master electrician Elaina arrived promptly at the agreed upon time and completed the rather challenging job in record time. Price, communication, and professionalism exceeded my expectations."

"I have been in the Military for 10 years now. With that being said, Hiring Ted Kennedy, LLC was the best company in every aspect that I would look for in a professional company. I cannot say enough that would do Mr. Kennedy justice and the way he has handled our situation. Not only was he the least expensive quote we received, but also had more knowledge about older homes than anyone else. You could say that our home project was 70+ years old, and in my opinion, a nightmare for any contractor. Mr Kennedy took the project head on. The professionalism, courtesy, working well within budget, and dedication made him the best I have ever seen"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.
