"The two young men who performed the installation were informative, professional, cordial, and they left the scene spotless. There was a technical problem with the engine on the generator itself, which they weren't able to help with, because they weren't licensed to work on the specific brand of generator. That might be something to check on before hiring for this type of job."

Customers say: Quality work

"I had a bathroom remodeled. The project started as a disaster. I had fired 2 contractors, lost money and time and really did not know where else to turn to. I was suggested to try Angie list, and so I did. I got in contact with Mr. Mc Caffrey, I did not have much faith however he surpassed and exceeded all my expectations. He was on time and showed up for work each single day he promised he would. The price was competitive and the bathroom was done in 10 days. The job included a jet tub,installation,plumbing, carpentry, electrical and tile work. I am greatly appreciative and will recommend Mr. Mc Caffrey at any time."

"Joe told me he would be at my house at a certain time and he was true to his word. He had to first remove a small wooden work bench —the wood pieces were put in a contractors garbage bag and removed to his truck— then he removed the old fuse box and put in the new circuit breaker. Joe finished the project and even swept the area and left it neat. It was a pleasure to have Joe do this job and I will happily recommend him for any electrical job you need. He is pleasant and curious."

"Dave, was professional and reliable. He did the job very well and returned when we had questions and resolved them. We upgraded our service from 100 to 200 amp electrical service. We also installed a charging port for our new electric car. We are very satisfied with the new service and charge station. I would highly recommend him to others."

FAQs for generator install projects in Oakham, MA

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:

  • Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000

  • Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300

  • Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000

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. 

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.

The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:

  • Experience frequent or prolonged power outages

  • Work from home

  • Store a lot of cold food

  • Have a sump pump

  • Have a pump for well water

  • Use electronic medical devices

  • Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
