"I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe Brewster (owner Elevation Electric), a licensed electrician, to install a Level 2 electric vehicle charger at my home, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience! From start to finish, Joe’s professionalism, expertise, and customer-focused approach made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Joe was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the installation process, recommend the best charger for my EV, and ensure everything met local codes and safety standards. He arrived on time, equipped with all the necessary tools and materials, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. The attention to detail was impeccable—every wire was neatly installed, and the charger was perfectly positioned for convenience. What truly stood out was Joe’s commitment to customer satisfaction. He patiently answered all my questions, offered tips on optimizing my EV charging setup, and even followed up after the installation."

"Just In Time installed a new attic fan and temperature control. The experience was great from start to finish. The first visit was a diagnosis and then an appointment was scheduled to replace the old fan with a new fan. The install of the fan was an excellent experience. The crew was able to arrive early, they confirmed it was OK to show up early prior. The install went smooth, the crew was efficient, friendly and cleaned up in no time. I would recommend and use Just in Time in the future!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

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.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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.
