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.

"This project was setting up and operating a 12kw portable generator. I want to give customer service a 6. I have no portable generator experience but the install crew was patient, answered my questions, and gave very good instructions on setting up and operating the thing."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

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.

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.
