"Austin and his team have been wonderful to work with. We had extensive experience with them after our generator was struck by lightning. Austin was incredibly professional and reliable. He wrote letters to our insurance and helped us get our new generator covered he was very honest and knowledgeable. He patiently handled all the back and forth paperwork with the insurance, helped us pick a new generator and just gave us great advice and his prices were very reasonable. He even helped us get the new generator installed quickly before our new baby was born during hurricane season. I am so grateful we found him and highly recommend him and his team."

"Danilo and his paint crew are amazing! From the beginning, he was super responsive and let me know everything that was happening every step of the way. My job took about 4 days; each day I was contacted regarding start/end time, and what was being completed each day. The team also cleaned up each day and kept the work space neat and tidy. The finished product is beautiful! I would highly recommend this crew for any jobs and will be contacting them again for more work!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.
