I went with Home Depot home Services for my Needs. its a bit more expensive. but have extra safety of home Depot backing the service.

I had a problem with overload outlet and Microwave blowing the fuse. so called them for an initial inspection and to get an estimate on what it would take to replace the panel and possible rewire the kitchen because of the Microwave blowing out the fuse.

He recommend to use another outlet which was on a different circuit that was higher rated and that could take the load.

He did recommend changing out the panel as the panel was older. Also was reported to have caused some fires in other states so due to the age and concerns I had; I went ahead and agreed to changing out the panel and he gave me a verbal estimated of 2100. with a written one being done later and sent thru email.

I had a number of other projects being done in the next few weeks, Windows and Roof replacement so had to wait for the other projects to be completed on my home.

I schedule the panel install and Jim came out and did the work in 1 day.

I am recommending Jim he is Professional; easy to talk to and just a nice guy. He explained everything and when he was finished he even helped me an outlet I had issue with at no charge.

Great service great Company.

"Generx Generators was outstanding in communication and installation of our home standby generator. Their professionalism far exceeds, not only their line of work, but most other contractors as well. They take care of everything from start to finish. Without hesitation, I recommend them to anyone looking to add a generator to their home. They are truly the best at what they do."

"Actually, Power and Control Installations did much more than install electrical switches, outlets and fixtures. They installed a new 20 amp breaker, and ran wiring 60 feet underground to my new shed. The electrician they sent out was very professional, courteous, and answered all my questions. The work was completed to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend this company to others."

"Had a breaker replaced for my pool heater in JUL17. During Labor Day Holiday in 2017 I noticed the smell of melted plastic coming from the panel. I called the previous company on their work and emergency number but no reply until Tuesday morning after the holiday. I called All American Electrical on Sunday of the holiday weekend and Erica scheduled the technician to come out that Tuesday. He found arcing in the breaker and documented everything to provide to previous company. The previous company refunded the full amount thanks to the inputs from All American Repair FYI. The technician didn't have the breaker on hand but they rescheduled for Friday of the same week. This week to the weekend prior to Hurricane Irma hitting the area. I had a dated generator connection in the garage as well and I had just purchased a generator for the pending hurricane. Erica received texts and information for the generator connection and got everything they needed to update the generator connection and repair the pool heater breaker the same day. The technicians went over the generator connections and told me how to work everything. Erica even provided their home number in case we had issues working the generator. The power did go out due to the Hurricane and the generator and connection worked with not issues along with the pool heater breaker. They did a great job and would recommend for anyone needed electrical work."

"We have had Nick from Destiny Electric over for electrical work multiple times in the past few years, to include a couple of minor issues (GFCI outlet failure), as well as adding electrical boxes/switches on a DIY bathroom model we did. Most recently (03/2020), Nick came out and installed new breakers and ran new wire to an electric tankless water heater we were installing while a plumbing company was re-piping our house. Nick was prompt, professional, courteous and stayed until just before 6:00 PM on a Friday to make sure it was ready for the plumbers the following Monday. The water heater works flawlessly, and Nick again did a very clean and thorough job with the intstall."

"The whole experience from start to finish rates a 5, I would go higher if I could. Dexter returned my call right a way and scheduled a time to come by. (Not a time frame) on arrival he was very courteous and professional. Went the extra mile to make sure that fan was installed properly. Once done I was asking some questions about changing some light fixtures and replacing a exhaust fan in the bathroom in the near future, he checked out the fan and got it running before he left. Great guy I will definitely be calling him back in the future and will recommend him to our friends.."

Generator Installation questions, answered by experts

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

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 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.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.
