"Hired “Power Up” to refit our electrical panel and install an outside connecting plug to run a new portable electric generator. Jeff came out and spent time to evaluate and discuss our needs. He was consultative throughout the whole process. Lisa was responsible for arranging installation and paperwork and was very responsive to inquiries as well as reaching out to confirm things were moving forward. Justin was our installer and he knew his stuff. Very friendly and completed the work on time and as expected. Great experience working with “Power Up.”"

"Within minutes after submitting an inquiry, Seamus contacted me to find out specifics of my project and although he provided an estimate, he was receptive to coming out for a site visit before I committed. Edward came for the preliminary site visit and afterwards, I accepted their proposal. Cliff, the installer, communicated with me with scheduling and was very professional and easy deal with. Edward performed an inspection after install to make sure everything was done properly. The people representing this company seem very knowledgeable about their work and is backed up by generations of experience."

Small jobs welcome

"We have had a hard time getting our Nest Video Doorbell installed because of the chimes that came with our house. After installing the proper transformer we could not get the Nest to work. I reached out to Home Advisor and HC Design was on the list of companies to contact. Before I could reach out a few companies reached out to me by leaving messages. What set HC Design apart from the others is Cornell not only called but sent me a text message after 11pm which told me he is really about getting the job done. I responded at 11:45 pm and he texted me back after midnight saying he could get our doorbell in later that day. I was definitely sold on Cornell and HC Design. The price was right! Mark showed up, immediately identified the issue, proceeded to install the doorbell and all within 45 minutes. Mark is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and just a really nice guy. Cornell followed up with a phone call since he was unable to make it due to being delayed at another job. I am definitely going to hire HC Design again for a couple other jobs we need done. Thank you for making this a pleasant and successful experience!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

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.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.
