"From the office folks to the electrician who did the work -- friendly and professional. They quoted the lowest price of three estimates and did the work within a couple of weeks. I purchased my generator elsewhere online... and VMA walked me thru the process of hooking it up, running it, and shutting it down. Very helpful."

"Jeffrey Masi is a total gentleman and a Pro of the highest quality. He has been punctual, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. When I first called him he responded immediately and came to inspect the site. He offered me his estimation and I accepted. He found time on a weekend to do the project because I was not available on weekdays. He also called Ashland Town Hall for inspection and paid the fees. Everything went as smoothly as a whistle. I will strongly recommend him for any electrical project and I am sure you will never go to another electrician. In this context, I should mention another electrician, named Matt from LITelectric whom I contacted along with Jeffrey. I am going to cite a passage "as is" of his texting to me. He wrote, "Honestly, my impression of you is that you are a jack *** hence why I never showed up you seem to think you know everything about a tesla charger when you don't know jack shit we will not be installing anything for you sir take your cheap ass somewhere else." This was when I asked him why he did not turn up after he confirmed appointments twice. Later, I read comments about him and found he was exactly what I thought he would be from his foul-mouthed error-prone texting. If and when it is needed, I will present screenshots of his texting. Please stay away from this person, if you do not want to repent later."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

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.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
