"The technician Nicolas was very friendly and easy to work with. Thanks to his efforts are ducts are now clean. He used a dedicated vacuum machine with a rotating brush that was very effective. He finished our two story house in a little over three hours."

"Scott Denny and his very experienced crew, arrived exactly when they said they would.  The price was in line or less expensive than other estimates.  The work ethics of all the workers was impressive.  Every thing they installed works perfectly.  Overall, my impression is that Denny's Electric takes a lot of pride in their work .  It was clear that they were not trying to "upsell" us on anything and also that any work they did would be done safely and properly.   Finally, they cleaned up after themselves beautifully.
We'll definitely use them again for any electrical needs.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

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. 

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.
