"I Called Zack with EZ Services. WOW!!! To say I was impressed is an understatement, I had a really tough intermittent issue with my electrical wiring. Zack took the time (4 hours to find the issue) and get it fixed. I also had him bid some, other things I needed done as well. This does not sound like much, BUT. When I paid another company (Dis-honest Abes) to come out and diagnose the issue. Not only could they not find the problem, but they were more interested in pushing a contract on me than fixing the issue. Then to top it off they quoted me 4 to 5X as much to do the extra jobs as Zack did. I Trust Zack with EZ Services not only to do the job, to do it right, But also to the job with integrity, and a fair price. I'm a customer for life. Thanks Zack"

Along with displaying utmost courtesy and respect, and being highly attentive to customer's questions, CW is a longtime master plumber, not performing guess work! He's efficient and quick yet leaves no stone unturned, very detailed, and cleans his work area. The cost CW tells you -- does not change! In the Lake area plumbing field, he's a gem in the rough!"

"Barker Electric was fantastic. Brian and his crew installed all the electric in my new build, from placing floor outlet receptacles and conduit prior to foundation pour, to planning the inside and outside lights and outlets, to installing the light above my sink. Brian and his crew were professional, punctual, and completed all the tasks they said they would! I highly recommend Barker Electric! I will hire them again !"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.
