"Mister Sparky is supposed to be an Electrical Franchise in the State of Florida. But, what they are is an "ORGANIZED CRIME Group" operating to defraud people from multiple offices throughout the state of Florida. This is NOT the case of 1 individual Contractor working without a license. My request to Angie's was for a license Electrical Contractor to have entered an Application for an Electrical Permit in the city of Miami Lakes, Florida where I live. A job that other local individual Licensed Electricians had quoted me $800-$900 dollars. But, I choose Mister Sparky because of being a Franchise group, I thought they would have been more reputable and professional and I paid them in full $4,152 on the day they came to my home. Jean, the electrician who came to my home and took my money on Friday August 8, told me they would enter the Permit Application into the city of Miami Lakes in 3 days on Monday 11, 2025. Since then, I have called numerous times to multiple phone number and NO one has called me back, including Bruce Howard Fort, Jr the person holding an Electrical Contractors License showing on the signed contract."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

When installed and used correctly, generators are safe to use. The most critical generator safety tips to keep in mind are:

  • Never use a portable generator inside an enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide exhaust it creates is lethal.

  • Never attempt to connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel independently; hire a professional for this dangerous job.

  • Never overload your generator by connecting more appliances than for which it’s rated; you can damage your generator and appliances or even cause a fire.

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.

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.

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.

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.
