"Reached out to Chris with an interesting electrical situation. I wanted an expert to assess ceiling lighting in a space and I was under a time restraint to complete the work. I knew the work was going to be a challenge due to the dated wiring in the space but was not sure to what extent as visually the job looked easy. Even though Chris and his team were extremely busy, he understood the urgency and took the time to fit the job in. He arrived with 2 of his other electricians to look over the space. They had a positive upbeat disposition even though it was pouring rain outside. What seemed like an easy light replacement turned out to require more labor then anticipated. He completed the job as quickly as he could and with great expertise! Chris, along side Milan and Logan were truly amazing! They not only changed the lighting as contracted, but took the work to the highest level of service by ensuring it was completed properly. They troubleshooted difficult issues as they became evident and instead of dismissing them as out of scope, they took the time to correct them. It is hard now a days to find contractors that will go above and beyond to ensure their client is happy and Chris is that contractor! I appreciate all the time Chris, Logan and Milan took to be sure the job was not only complete but properly executed. Chris and his team are awesome!"

"It went well-Ended up good. Had a bit of miscommunication with the installer resulting in a perfectly functional but asthetically disasterous install. Called the sales person back and he was gracious, polite & said he would discuss it internally and get back to us. A crew came back and redid the install. All is well-in the nick of time for summer! Thanks Brad & Russell's!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.
