"Patrick is a thorough professional. Your project will be done on time and on or below budget. I trusted his recommendations for project modifications, which turned out better than anything I was envisioning. The list in this computer form don't begin to address all he did. It included installing light fixtures, updating kitchen cabinets and more."

"The electrician from Hometown Electric was courteous, proficient and efficient as he completed the installation our newly purchased ceiling fan. He was here for an hour or so and was willing to do other job(s) to fulfill the minimum service agreement of 2 hours. Per my request, he looked at our dining room light fixture, but said there was nothing wrong with how I reinstalled the glass globe after replacing the light bulb. Thank you Angi for the referral. I would definitely call them if I had any other electrical concerns or projects. Stuart F. Julian LuAnn Julian"

"Had Shain and Gabe install two 30amp outlets on our exterior building for our RV hookups. They got it done same day and it looks very tidy and professional. They were punctual, clean, and very friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be calling them again next time we have an electrical need."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
