*Free Estimates* Licensed Christian contractor . Offering excellent workmanship and reliable service. Residential, commercial, and industrial. No job is too small. There is no per hour charge because a single price is given with the proposal and that is the price you pay ( there are no suprises!)

"I have used HOCO POWER several times over the past few years (after reading excellent reviews on Google). The workers - Brandon, Josh and Christian have always done a great job. Since I initially chose HOCO POWER because of their review, it is necessary to update their reviews with my own experiences. Chris Kemp, the owner of HOCO POWER, has made my project a nightmare. I learned from his son, Brandon, that they do carpentry work as well as electrical. I asked him to rebuild my greenhouse which was damaged in a recent storm. I agreed to pay his full asking price for labor ($8495) but stated I would purchase all materials ($2200+) before the project began. Two weeks later Mr. Kemp stated that he was finished and presented me with additional receipts for materials that he purchased (mostly without my knowledge) in the amount of $1325. Even though $300+ of these materials were questionable (i.e. hammer, broom, sodas, cement, etc.), I paid him the full $1325 he requested. He also stated that he had purchased $1298.43 in electrical supplies (for which there is no physical evidence). I asked him for receipts so that I could reimburse him. He stated that he was not going to show me any receipts and that I was “ignorant” for even requesting them. The only electric supplies present in my 12’x16’ greenhouse are 6 outlets, 2 switches, 30’ of Christmas lights and a ceiling fan. (See pictures). Note: I had a perfectly good working ceiling fan in the greenhouse before he took it down and left it out in the rain to be damaged. Two weeks after starting the project, he left my greenhouse unfinished and stated that he was going to put a lien on my home. The matter is currently being adjudicated. This review is my experience with HOCO POWER."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.
