"It was pretty rocky. At first. Several appoints made by Tri-State no one ever showed up.Crew showed up to install the Generator before the site survey and did not have necessary equipment or cooperation of Electric or gas company nor call before you dig had been notified. I called Tri-State to warn them the call before dig had never been preformed. They said they'd take care of it, did not happen until right before installation crew came back the second time. The first time they were here they could not have installed the generator even had they had all the parts because none of the utilities had been marked. Finally after about three months the Generac was installed and working. I had several questions that I could never get answered by calling Tri-State. One of the installation team had to come back a couple of weeks later to replace a damaged part and he answered all my questions. The guys who installed the Generac were great, the problem is your guys operation center and call center as far as I can see do not communicate very well. Anyway the generator has worked fine in several power outages this spring. I am happy right now but I live in dread something goes wrong and I have to call Tri-State for help."

"They did a great job! I had 3 outlets in my house that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. Unlike a prior electrician I hired who told me "there was nothing they could do"... the team at Broad Ripple Electric took the time to investigate the situation, and find the source of the problems, and fixed the issues. They also were able to update my antique doorbell - they installed a new working doorbell while retaining many of the antique parts (for aesthetics) to the old doorbell. They were more than happy to explain to me what the problems were and they were able to come up with solutions that were affordable and of quality. It's clear they are very knowledgeable, and they also cleaned up after their work and were respectful of my house, my time and my loud barking dog!"

"These guys were really great. Easy to deal with. Good products. Professional installation. Great follow up. I had gotten a coupon for an AC tuneup from another company at Home Depot. During the tune up they told us we needed a complete new system. He quoted us a price of almost $10,000. So I went to Costco, which has a local partner for HVAC. Surprisingly, they proposed a bigger, even more expensive system for $11,000. I was pretty frustrated. So I went on here, looked for the highest rated HVAC companies and found the great reviews for Complete Comfort. They lived up to the hype. They suggested a system that was similar to the other two proposals but MUCH cheaper at $7,000. Their guys came out in a rainstorm and worked their butts off all day. The new system is GREAT! Then after about a week we noticed a banging noise when it came on. We called and they came right out. They made an alteration that fixed the problem at no additional cost. It was such a great experience working with them all the way around."

"What an excellent team of employees they have. They had to redo our electrical box, install electrical outlets, hang fans and run electric to our up stairs. Very professional company! We had another company to do it the first time and Freedom came in and redid it all. Their service is outstanding!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
