"Andrew installed new exterior outlets for my outdoor cooking toys, added ceiling lights to our basement, and added an outlet in one of our bedrooms. I'm very pleased with everything. Looking forward to working with Andrew again."

"Great experience. George was on time, very professional and explained everything we need to know about our new EV charging unit. This was the first for us and a little nervous about the whole EV charging. He tested it, made sure we were comfortable with it, and messaged us the next day to make sure everything was working as expected. Much thanks for this recommendation. Great job by this company. Will keep his number for any future electrical needs. Thank you."

"I was very impressed. I'd particularly note John's knowledge and creativity. After having two furnace servicers tell me there was nothing to be done, John kept going with the old one and was able to get it working. At less than what I had been charged to tell me it was impossible. Unfortunately, that only worked for less than a week and we went on to replace the furnace and put in a new chimney liner.
But I was very happy with the service.

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

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

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.
