"I contacted Bel-Aire Heating & Air for a furnace and air inspection and they were able to get me in quickly. I knew my furnace was older and wasn't operating very well and their tech was able to confirm what I suspected was happening with my furnace. They scheduled a comfort advisor to come out and give me some information on furnace and a/c replacement so I could plan that in proactively rather than waiting for it to stop working. I was very impressed with the salesmen and their knowledge. We never felt pressured to purchase anything, and loved that there were options at different price levels to meet my needs. I decided to purchase both a new furnace and a/c. They just finished the installation and I am super pleased with the service. They completed the job faster than they quoted and were very careful in my house and did an excellent job of cleaning up from the installation to completion. I would absolutely highly recommend Belaire Heating & Air Conditioning if you are looking for the best heating system at a great price. I love my new systems. Thank you Bel-Aire Heating & Air Duane & Kami Prince Next is Hot water heater. ?"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.
