"Walker Electric did a great job each time I hired them. On separate occasions they installed two ceiling fans, installed an electric outlet, and finally installed a full house generator. I will have them out again when there is need, and recommend their service to family and friends."

"One of my rental homes needed electrical attention before an inspector would agree to come in. It was an emergency situation and Matt was very helpful. I originally called him after hours and was pleasantly surprised that I was able to talk to him. He patiently listed to my situation and came the next day first thing in the morning. He performed the requested work I needed. Then, worked a miracle and managed to bring the inspector the same day. Not only that, but he also called Duke Energy so that they would turn the power on the same day. I was very impressed with how reliable, honest, and prompt Matt was, and all for a very reasonable price. I will definitely call again if I am in need!"

"The install went great. UES showed up on time, used boot covers while in the house and covered our furniture and flooring prior to starting their work. After the recessed cans were installed, they cleaned up the work area. The electricians were knowledgeable and curteous. They did an amazing job and we are very pleased with their work. The additional lights made a night and day difference in our living room. I would highly recommend UES for your home lighting improvement projects as well."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.

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

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
