"We had recessed lighting (4) installed in our master bedroom. A little more expensive than other quotes, but they provide you the information before you hire them, so it wasn't a surprise. Great quality and customer service. We had purchased the housing and the lighting prior to their arrival. Once we agreed to hire them and the technician looked at our hardware, he mentioned that he could use what we had purchased, but there was a different type of housing that could be used and it would cut the installation time and cost if used. He continued to work while I returned and exchanged the housing. Excellent recommendation and greatly appreciated. He did a great job, cleaned up after the job was finished, and we are very satisfied with the finished job."

"I hired Mckinney Electric Services to install a new 240 volt 30 amp circuit with a particular outlet configuration for an electric pottery kiln. A small job but important to me. I received a call before arrival on the scheduled day and 30 minutes later work began. The two employees (Devin and Aaron) assessed the situation and recommended the routing they thought best. After ensuring the outlet was the correct configuration for the kiln plug they began work. The job was completed timely and professionally. The areas of the house involved in the installation were cleaned of all evidence that any work had been done. Devin and Aaron answered all my questions as the work progressed. They were professional, personable and respectful toward me and my property. McKinney Electric provided a great job at a fair price. I will call on McKinney Electric for any future electric work I need!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

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.

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.
