"The pro quickly found the electrical problem..but said anopther appt would be made to repair. I remember the initial information was..if the repair can be made then..that would be done. However the pro then proceeded to go thru my home and look at plug ins, alarms, etc. I really didnt know why other than he said part of their visit was to be sure the home was safe electrically. He then gave me 3 proposals of things my home needed. The most extreme was 29.000$. I I said all I wanted was the 1 problem fixed..he told me that would be $1089! Again I was stunned at the high price to repair. I certainly should have said No thank you and end the process. But I needed it repaired. It was scheduled for the next day. It did take a longer time for the repairmen to arrive..said GPS problem. He finished the repair in a good time..but said he didnt have anycaulk/sealer to put around the outside receptacle in his truck. I would consider that item an easy needed product to have on the truck."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts
When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency.
As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.
You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together.
A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.
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.
