"Tom was great at installing my RV outlet. Out of the 3 different quotes I received, he was able to get it done without trying to talk me into more expensive options. He was also accommodating with my somewhat busy schedule and very responsive throughout the install planning process. I would highly recommend Productive Electric."

"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."

"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."

"I had a tricky problem where the electrical service line into an old 2-story brick house had almost pulled the anchor brick for the strain cable out of the wall! They responded quickly, gave me an estimate and figured out a solution which utilized a closet inside the house to install a bracket on the outside of the house, bypassing the brick section altogether. A clean install which should last (another 100 years?). They also tapped the errant bricks back into line so I didn't have to do any brick repair. Thanks guys!"
When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
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.
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.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
