"EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE & EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH. Let me start with the fact that I had no idea as to what I was getting into when I purchased an EV. The team at Kapital Electric helped to set me up with a home charger (at no cost to me). Donald at Kapital Electric met with me to discuss to process and provided me all the necessary paperwork to get the ball rolling. In no time, the charger was being installed. The staff who came to install were professional, work was neat and completed in the specified time. If you're looking for exceptional service & experience from start to finish, give Kapital Electric a call!"

Specializing in Panel Upgrades, Panel Swaps, Emergency Services 24/7 availability. Installer of electric vehicle Charges. Locally owned & operated. Free quotes for new installations. Low diagnostic fees for troubleshooting and repairs. Preferred installer of Ford and Tesla electric vehicles.

"They combined two electrical boxes into one and had to move an outlet to slow for a longer panel. The guy did the work while my disabled husband was home (he was unable to climb stairs and inspect the completed work). I came home after the guy left and had to move the old electrical panel that was sitting in front of my garage door. All the rest of the garbage was sitting in my garage. I was not happy, he told my husband he could not fit the trash in his car. When I looked at the completed job I saw he had retired the outlet and had a cord across the front of the panel box so it couldn’t be opened unless I unplugged the cord. What?!! And he also left his own personal trash in the basement. I was very upset and called the rep that had originally come to the house and he sent the same guy out the next day to fix it. I asked him to please take the old panel box and other trash he left and he said he didn’t have room in his car to take it. I was not happy with this company and would not recommend."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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.
