I have an eye for detail. Windows, blinds, mirrors, and new construction move ins or move outs have been my strong hand over the past few years. I have been doing this for the past 10 years with new construction 20 years with cleaning homes and businesses. I work alone for the most part.

Forty-seven years has brought about many changes in the lawn and garden industry. When Ted’s opened its doors in 1963, there were only a handful of lawn equipment companies: Toro, International Harvester, Sensation, John Deere and McCullough. Since then the market has expanded from a slim selection of lawn mowers to a variety of lawn tools- mowers, trimmers, chainsaws, blowers, snow-blowers- catering to the homeowner, large landscaping companies and everyone in between. Ted’s offers a wide selection of new, used and reconditioned equipment, many of which are displayed right on our showroom floor. Whether you’re a large commercial outfit or a homeowner with a small yard, you’re sure to find a machine to fit all your needs and your budget. We also hold dealership status for over one hundred manufacturers. As one of the Midwest’s largest parts department, we maintain a sizeable inventory of new, used and discontinued parts.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.
