"Absolutely Top-Tier Electrical Work Hire Them Now! Stop what you're doing. Seriously if you need electrical work done, this is the company to call. They upgraded my home panel, dug a trench, and ran a clean, powerful line to a 60-amp sub panel for my studio. And when I say they crushed it, I mean every detail was handled with precision and care. They started by uninstalling the old panel and installing the new one like seasoned pros. Every circuit was run with intention, and the new ground wires were laid flawlessly. The work in the studio? Some of the best I’ve ever seen. Power is strong, clean, and professionally routed it’s everything I hoped for and more. They didn’t just do a job they elevated the space. Their work gave me peace of mind and made the studio feel like a real extension of my home. If craftsmanship, reliability, and integrity matter to you, do yourself a favor and hire this company. You'll be genuinely impressed."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

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.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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.
