Customers say: Quick response

"bought new path lights for our home. tried to install myself. Out of 8 lights only two came on. in addition, couldn't remove old lights from wires due to horrible clips from old lights. In about 20 minutes after the job started half of my lights were working. he wired them the way i asked so i didn't have to worry if one failed...i could replace without those darn clips. Just looking outside and finally seeing them work made me so very happy. the lights came on tonight at dusk. I could hardly wait to see them. I've been outside 3x since dark. I just cannot believe how great they look. he even replaced light bulbs and checked my eye on my lamp post. all is very very well here thanks to midnight sun. amazing and fast job. definitely a favorite contractor."

"Jordan Blake from Exceptional Electric rocks! His communication prior to coming out was very thorough, and he was able to schedule us in two days. While he was onsite he found multiple items from years of DIY wiring, one major one. He clearly communicated al recommended changes to better match current code. As to the major item, he discovered the transformer was causing over-voltage delivery into our main! He had me call United Electric, and the linemen were out even before Jordan left – kudos to U.E. Cooperative – and replaced the transformer on the pole. All this for what started out as just putting a new 30A circuit in for a mini-split! Our mini-split is not yet on site, so we look forward to having Jordan back to the farm to complete the electrical plus a couple of the found issues next week. He is so knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. His sense of humor is also a delight, and my husband enjoyed learning and discussing many things with him. His prices are excellent."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

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.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

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.
