"William was absolutely fantastic! He responded almost immediately when I requested an estimate for his services, and he arrived the following morning to discuss my project and provide an estimate. In addition to providing a fair and reasonable estimate, he also said he was available to begin work as soon as I would like him to do so. It was a time-sensitive job, and he got started right away. He completed the installation of a new breaker and wiring for an exterior outlet box on our back deck in less than a few hours! Everything looks great, and I will definitely be contacting Triple City Electric again for any electrical services going forward."

"I recommend Dustin 100%. I would definitely use him again. What a great guy. He tried to help me over the phone in case it was something easy like a tripped breaker, so I wouldn't have to pay for a service call. It wasn't easy, he came out, explained what was happening and he went to work and figured it out. He's extremely knowledgeable and has a great work ethic that you don't see these days. Responds right away and shows up when he says he's going to. I seriously can't recommend him enough. His rates are better than any I've seen, I'm so glad I called him!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

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.
