"Installed a 12 circuit generator cutover panel. Works great. Would have preferred the cables to be behind the drywall. But a solid job that passed Jeffco and Xcel inspections easily."

"Back in 2024, Jesus and his team did a phenomenal job adding a new circuit/outlet in our garage for our new chest freezer and outlets with USBs for our e-bikes and other gear. He came in the morning to talk about the project and give and estimate and they were able to complete the work same day even though it was a bigger project than I’d originally described in my request. He explained the options well and was able to put everything exactly as we wanted. Very happy with how that project turned out. This year, we hired Jesus’s team again to install new light fixtures in our bathroom (vanity lights and sconces) and move some outlets. Again he and his team did a great job and were lovely to work with. We’ll be reaching out for more assistance with our bathroom reno."

"I’m extremely pleased with the work Jon from TORQ Electricians recently completed in my home. This project was much larger than his visit the week before, and once again he delivered outstanding results. He replaced switches and outlets throughout the house, many of which had begun to fail due to age, and the upgrades have given us real peace of mind when it comes to safety. Jon also made several thoughtful recommendations—installing dimmer switches in the kitchen and study, and suggesting a different dimmer style for our living room ceiling fan. These changes have noticeably improved both the functionality and the atmosphere of those rooms. He even identified and replaced a GFCI breaker in the panel that wasn’t up to code, ensuring everything is now safe and compliant. The work has refreshed the look of our interior, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We’re very glad we chose TORQ Electricians and highly recommend Jon to anyone needing professional, reliable electrical work"

"Shawn and his team were awesome for this project. They understood immediately what realistic budget was, provided very clear itemized project updates as things went on, took care of all the work, and worked with me to complete it all in two days while working around my busy corporate lifestyle. Work was done very clean, conscious of keeping costs low but with quality, and they were fast and friendly. Highly recommend going with them over any of the big 3 companies who will quote you way too much, provide no itemized receipt or options."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

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. 

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

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.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
