"After being ghosted by an electrician we had used before, friends recommended Kruger Electric. We were not disappointed. Kruger was responsive, from the moment we made our appointment through their confirmation and then letting us know Kevin was on his way, we never had to wonder whether someone was going to show up. Kevin assessed the services we requested, did a quick "examination" of the house, and then provided three options from which to choose. He was upfront about costs -- no hidden fees or surprises. Kevin did excellent work, quickly and thoroughly, and went above and beyond (with little things like swapping out a light bulb in the garage so we can actually see in there now). We are just beyond satisfied with the whole experience and would wholeheartedly endorse and recommend Kruger (and Kevin) to anyone."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

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.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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.
