We will arrive on time, perform an on-site inspection & provide you with a STRAIGHT FORWARD PRICE up front in writing prior to beginning any work. A small dispatch fee is required to pay. We will send a licensed, certified electrician to your home in a van stocked with 1,000's of parts. All of our employees at Electrical Experts are drug tested and background checked for your safety. The technician will come out to your home, give you the "red carpet treatment" and a complementary 10 point home safety inspection. WE HAVE A 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE OR YOUR MONEY BACK! We now offer a 10% discount for anyone over 65 or older/ active or retired military personnel

"Unique circumstances but perfect execution even when the requirements kept changing. Chris R. and Zach dealt with, and knew how to handle, each one. Can’t ask for more than that. A church, with a old floodlight on a 16’ ceiling; another elevated floodlight precariously set up between pews; custom temporary adjustments to main panel to find space for two 240v cables for a floor sander; updated outlet; a genius custom dimmer switch for floodlight that saved necessary $; and I still can’t believe how long Chris R. spent bringing back the brass luster of the ceiling flood that had old excess paint all over it. That was so above and beyond. Thank you gentleman. Our church looks forward to working with you again!(and for our home). And all from a reference from our son in Burgy who had a similar experience."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.
