"Per my contract with Redrocks Roof and Solar, I am to notify them if I suspect my solar system is not producing per their design, and to begin an "underproduction claim". If underproducing, they will compensate for lost production. My system operational as of May 5, 2025, I contacted them in August 2025 informing them of above stated concern. Called 3 times without a response until finally tech came out with last second notice on 9/2/2025. Fortunately I was home, helped him find 9 out of 14 panels that were never wired in. Photos were taken/sent to Redrocks. Additionally, it was discovered a setting on the system phone app given to me to monitor system was not enabled, which they were supposed to explain in detail to me and never did. So for 4 months my system was only producing 33%, Brooke (owner) acknowledged in a live phone call on the spot. I never received parts warranty details per the contract, no response after emails and phone messages about all this. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.
