"Derek is a real pro! He installed a generator plug on the exterior of my house and consulted with me on the best placement for a clean install. He wired up a hot tub about a year ago that he did a great job on too. Definitely would recommend him for any electrical projects you have."

"Good. I started out with HVAC inspection. They wrote a long report on problems and did a show and tell so I could see them for myself. The technician did a soft sell on replacing the HVAC system and referred me to a sales manager for estimates and recommendations. The sales manager also helped me with finding discounts on service beyond just the Angie's list discount. Workers showed up a little before scheduled time and and arranged to call me a half hour before they finished so I could do other things while they worked. (I had moved out of the condo and was fixing it up for sale.) Everyone was hard working and professional. They forgot to install the new thermostat and I called the sales manager who helped me before purchase and he was just as helpful even though I had already paid. They sent someone to do the thermostat installation the next morning at no additional charge."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.
