Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

You may be able to power some smart thermostats without a C-wire, but these may “steal” power from other appliances, or generally not work as well. If you’re committed to the high-tech life, adding a C-wire for your smart thermostat is likely a wise investment that can make everything run a lot more smoothly.

Breakers are designed to trip and be reset, so there’s no countdown to when it will malfunction. The danger lies in a break tripping multiple times in a row without—well, a break. The breaker and the wires need time to cool down after an overload. Multiple tripping in short succession exacerbates the problem that breakers are preventing, overheating the electrical components and causing damage. That damage can extend to the breaker itself, so a breaker that trips a lot in a short timespan may trip accidentally afterward.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours.
