"Anthony and his team do expert electrical work of all kinds. We are a 145 year old non-profit organization with buildings and grounds, and have contracted with Technician Engineers Group (TEG) on two large projects (and several small ones) over the last 15 years. One project rewired a large 125 year old building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and one installed an extensive outdoor lighting system. In these two unusual situations TEG worked closely with us to find innovative solutions to our unique needs. We are very pleased with the results, enjoyed their can-do approach, and highly recommend this company for any electrical challenge. We found TEG reliable, honest, on time, and all the work was completed ahead of schedule."

"Callahan worked me in during a busy week before the 4th even though it was a cold call. I did not know him.. The electrician was exactly on time at 8AM and he wore a mask. He did a perfect job, and went out of his way to make the wire out of site as it was installed across my garage.. Even though it took a little longer than anticipated, he still charged me the quoted price.. I will definitely call him again for all my electrical work."

"Supreme Electric was great. They showed up on time, worked quickly and swapped out the cheap plastic electric boxes and installed the ceiling fans we provided all while cleaning up and leaving no trace. I've had bad experiences before, but this was far different. We are very happy that such a small job was done promptly and done well. That can be hard to find these days. We will definitely hire again as we still need a few things done."

"I highly recommend CAP Electrical for all of your electrical needs! Not only do they do an outstanding job, but they are extremely friendly, customer service oriented, and honest. The day that Rod (President) came out to give me an estimate, I thought that I had a short in one of my kitchen light fixtures. Rod quickly pointed out that I was not using the right type of bulb in the fixture (non-dimmable bulb on a dimmable light). That display of honesty led to me hiring Rod and his guys for the rest of the work I needed done, and I'm very glad I did. They ended up installing recessed lights in my basement, a receptacle on my front porch, repairing switches in my main breaker panel, and fixed existing receptacles throughout my house. The electricians Rod sent were very personable and courteous. They worked very efficiently, and ensured that my satisfaction was their number one priority. As the electricians worked they informed me that some of the work that they did was not as involved as originally anticipated, which ultimately led to me saving money. Another display of honesty and customer service at its finest. In addition, CAP was very flexible when it came to scheduling a day to come out. If you're looking for a company that prioritizes customer service and is extremely honest then look no further than CAP electrical. They are very good people who work hard and do the right thing! I'm very pleased with the work that they did and I know you will be too."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

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.

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.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
