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.

FAQs for generator install projects in Melrose, FL

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
