"Flawlessly!. George replied within 15 minutes and sent me a scheduled work time that day. I received text notifications that the work was being done and a call from the electrician while on the property. The next day, I had my required Corps documents in hand."

"I cannot rave enough about Professional Systems Design. Initially, they came to my house by chance, but Iâ ve had them come back several times by choice. My husband and I had just bought a house that was in need of many electrical repairs. Our home warranty company sent out Jeremy and his company, Professional Systems Design. I had a list of things I wanted done and Jeremy and his team were able to do everything, working with the warranty company to get as many of the projects covered as possible. What the warranty company didnâ t cover, the charge to us was very reasonable. Since that initial visit, Iâ ve hired Professional Systems Design several times to complete more projects because they are honest, proficient, personable, and professional. Jeremy, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in his area of expertise. The team installed new ceiling fans, fixed and added extra outlets, replaced old lighting with recessed lights, installed a camera doorbell system as well as a new bathroom exhaust fan, just to name a few things they did for us. Whenever I had a question or wanted an opinion about how to best accomplish what I wanted to in a room, Jeremy had the answer. Basically, Jeremy knows his stuff! There wasnâ t anything I presented to him that he or his crew couldnâ t do. I have 100% confidence in Professional Systems Designâ s ability and integrity, and I HIGHLY recommend them!"

"Ashley made the process painless and easy. He communicated with me throughout the entire repair and even took the time to answer my questions as well. I’ve since added them for my annual maintenance to keep my generator working every time we need it."

"I recently had an electrical home inspection performed by Jimenez electrical contractors, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. The inspector was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain every detail and provided valuable insights into the electrical system of my home. The scheduling was smooth and convenient. They also arrived on a timely manner. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and comprehensive electrical home inspection. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

"The technicians were friendly and knowledgeable, but the poor customer service we experienced from the office keeps me from recommending this company. After mailing in the required 50% down, no contact was received from the company. We had to call and confirm our check was received and ask to be put on their installation schedule. The job was not completed on the initial visit due to lack of communication/miscommunication with the power company. Again, no one from Power Services contacted us to reschedule; when we called again to have the job completed, we were given a date of two weeks out. Dissatisfied with that, I asked to speak with company president Robert McMahon (who originally sold us the generator), and it took multiple calls and unanswered messages before I heard back from him. On the second installation attempt, the technician advised that he didn't have the right monitor for the generator, and thus a third visit would be necessary. That same day, we received a call from Mr. McMahon questioning why we did not give the technician payment for the remaining balance. We advised him that payment would be made as originally agreed-when the job was satisfactorily complete. The next week, the monitor was installed and the job finally completed."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

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.

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.
