"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."

"My experience with Beachside Electrical could not have gone better. Randy was fast to respond and responsibly priced. They came out and installed my new fixtures in less time than expected. I will have them back for more work in the near future."

"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

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
