"The appointment was scheduled at our convenience which was on a Saturday.  Craig with Optimize was on time and brought materials to review with us about the Generac units, warranties and service plans.  He was able to answer all of our questions and was the second person we contact about whole-home generators.  Craig was so knowledgeable and so professional that both my husband and I decided to go with his company.
While we had Craig there, I decided to ask him about solar panels.  My husband and I had just briefly discussed solar panels and was still unsure if we were going to purchase them.  Again, even though Craig was called for discussing a generator, he was able to respond to our questions and then offered to come and perform a "shade test on the house.
We called Craig the next day and ordered the generator and set an install date and again, Optimize was excellent in setting the set up on a date convenient for us. 
Within a day of the "shade" test being performed, Craig called and gave us the results and emailed us proposals of different panel units and followed the email up with setting another appointment to sit down with both of us and explain the details and bring brochures about the products.
After explaining everything including the Federal incentive, we decided to install the solar panel system.  Again, Craig was able to pull off having everything installed for both the Generac and the solar panels on the same days.
I am pleased to say that both the Generac and solar panels are installed and working perfectly!  It was a pleasure to deal with such a professional company who took our needs into consideration and was not pushy.  I will and have recommended Optimize EGS to friends, family, neighbors and co-workers and I know they will not let me down for passing on a referral!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.
