"William was prompt, set expectations and followed through and educated us on the need for a Surge Protector. He came for a quote but was able to install the EV charger quickly and cleanly same day. He is very knowledgeable about the EV market and was in and out quickly. Great experience all around. Highly recommend!!"

"I'm blown away by the fantastic service. I was trying to get ready for Hurricane Matthew and needed a generator outlet installed. Called and got a call back immediately. Ken was great to work with, installed the outlet while I had to head out of town. I was extremely worried about the hurricane and Ken's was so helpful that I knew we'd have what we needed when the storm hit. He even checked our old cable and suggested that we buy a new one, stayed on the phone with my wife to make sure the right one was ordered. I can't say thank you enough. This is why you deal with highly reputable local companies, they go the extra mile. Highly recommend them without reservation."

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.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

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.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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