"Hired for a large job (complete house rewire) after their quote came in the lowest out of several companies. The first meetings with the owner, Tim, went well. However, Tim was barely present at the worksite, and there was a lack of communication between his workers. The vast majority of work was completed by young apprentices who were not experienced. Interior and exterior holes were drilled in incorrect locations, trim permanently damaged, huge bags of trash left on the floor, and wires left cut without a replacement line. There was one spot they said they couldn't run a line to, that my girlfriend and I ended up doing in about half an hour. It felt like if we didn't make a big fuss out of everything that went wrong they would have happily left them as is. There are even some things STILL unresolved as they were found after paying TE in full. Overall I cannot recommend their services. If you do hire them, better babysit them to make sure you really get what you're paying for."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

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. 

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.
