"Needed electrical wires rerouted, outlet moved, additional outlet installed. Chris came in and accomplished everything I needed and then some. As far as pricing, it was exactly on par with everything I had seen from other estimates, which was very reasonable. Something that I appreciate when taking estimates is transparency with what the cost included, and Chris provided that. What won me over was that he had a simple plan, didn't try to talk about things that I really didn't need, but he did bring up things that he knew I would need based on our conversation about my plans, which included 220 (had already been on my mind for a while). He went ahead and got that line ran with two outlets. Super helpful, and very friendly. He is also prompt and was willing to work with my schedule. I will be keeping his information for future use. I recommend Idaho Star Electrical without hesitation. I would post pictures, but 99% of his work is now covered up inside the walls of my garage."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.
