"He came promptly and charged me a price that was more than fair to drive out to my home and fix my portable generator. He even took into consideration that we were without power and needed the job done quickly."

"The professionalism of Josh, the project manager and all of the workers was top notch: they were competent, experienced and explained each phase of the electrical project. We now have a new load center installed, as well as a generator interlock system. All of the work was completed in one day, as promised. Josh made sure that my husband and I were fully informed about how to connect our new generator."

"Westborn Electric did a fantastic job getting our family room ready for remodeling. They added four can lights, recommending LED, which I prefer anyway. They added two outlets and changed out all the old outlets which were the wrong color and getting very old. They also ran our cable and ethernet line to an outlet. There was a bit of a mixup in that we thought they would terminate the cable and ethernet line in an outlet, but a check of the work order showed that was not ordered. The lesson I learned was to always check the details of the work order. I would not mark them down for that. My wife and I were able to install the cable and ethernet outlet ourselves after the job was finished. Overall, we are very pleased and would recommend them."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

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.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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.
