"Outstanding experience. On time, took the time to educate me on the required maintenance of my 3-year old generator. Also installed remote monitoring hardware and tested it for me. Will use again."

"Ariel installed 50 amp inlet to my breaker box for portable generator. He completely cleaned up the breaker box. Separated rooms to different breakers so I can turn off rooms i don't use. He was extremely thorough in his work. Upon finishing installation, Ariel stayed on his own time and explained everything i needed to know about using generator and which breakers to use if i have a power outage. He was very knowledgeable and made sure i understood before he would leave. I highly recommend ACG based on my experience with his work ethic. Thank you Ariel!"

"Pete was very nice and he was very knowledgeable about his job. I would recommend Watts Electrical to my friends and family. Pete gave my son in law a great idea and explained how to do it, he said that it was a good idea to save money, they just bought the house and he was very very nice. He did not make it the day before but he called to reschedule and he showed up the next day and was very quick to find the problem and explained how to fix one. We would recommend him for all of your electrical needs."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
