"I had Nathan quote a job for cabin under 600 sq ft. It was gutted to the studs inside with all new framing and completely open for them to work. He quoted 4,700 for the complete job, rough in and finish trim, simple cabin nothing special outlets lights and water heater etc nothing fancy at all. He went there to rough it in (600 sq feet cabin) they billed 48 hours to rough it in totaling $5,772 for just 1/2 the job. I remodel cabins for a living and this is 1 day job for 2 guys (have done 15 or so to date). They were apparently there for 48 hours. AFTER they did the work they billed me for just 1/2 the job for $5,772.00. I immediately called and asked what was going on and he said sorry that’s what it is and it will be another $2,615 to come finish it once the interior was done. So he quoted $4700 and tried to charge me $8,387.00. I had multiple quotes ranging from 4500-5700 from multiple electricians so his quote was accurate he just decided to try and take advantage of me and charge double AFTER the work was complete. He didn’t mention anything to me before about it costing more. STAY AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS! I know having to get a lawyer involved to get this matter settled. Complete Crooks! I have all the documents and emails to prove it."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

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.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
