"I donâ t have the superlatives to express how amazing this company is. The two actual found my house without issue for 1 and FedEx canâ t even say that. They installed the two fans and hood over my stove and asked for my input on all preferences. They also empathized over the fact that Wayfair gave me a flush mount option without the parts. When installing my hood, they took out the jank wire which was not up to code, they fixed my daughterâ s plastic hot fan box, which was running on 60 volts all the time, and assembled everything, including fixing the bend hood and shortening the kitchen down rod. On top of all that, they cleaned up, even vacuumed and gave me a discount. They found 3 fire hazards in my home. The kitchen fan was hanging on by a stripped screw thread. Mr Gist is gonna need more workers bc, if he keeps treating ppl like that, his business will be booming!"

"We called Mr. Miller to have an outlet put in and some wiring rerun as we are having a sliding glass door installed. Mr. Miller showed up in great time, was respectful and was efficient with his work. He left my husband and I feeling confident with our new outlet and the work he provided. We are glad he is local and we will contact MMI Electric for any future electrical needs we have. Thank you so much for the good work!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

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.

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.

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.
