"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

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

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.

Yes, whole-house generators run constantly for extended periods. Whole-house generators can run for longer periods of time than portable generators, but be careful. First, they may need regular applications of engine oil (as frequently as daily), depending on the engine design. Second, running constantly for several days will increase the wear and tear on the generator and shorten its lifespan.

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.
