"I went on Home Advisor for help contacting an electrician. David from Bay Electric of Northern Michigan LLC contacted me about 2 hours later. David came to my house a couple days later, to go over what my needs were. My project was to upgrade my electric box from fuse panel to breaker box, upgrade electrical service from 60 amp to 100 amp, and install electrical service to a new pole barn. David gave me an estimate which I accepted. David did the whole job including permits, scheduling with Consumers Power, final inspection.etc. David also supplied wire, 2 breaker boxes, and everything needed. Very professional, friendly, and complete service. I highly recommend this company. The job was completed in 1 day. David is coming back in Feb. to connect my generator to whole house service for when power outages occur."

"Great job by the electricians. They arrived early, called the boss and asked questions when they were not sure. Offered suggestions on how to bring the property up to code, identified the problem and installed a smart thermostat. Job well done."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

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.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.
