"I was extremely pleased since the other companies said several other things were wrong with the unit and what Scott said we found to be accurate. He had the unit running in less than 2 minutes and he explained how to get the unit running again if it happened again. I was extremely pleased with him and have referred him to several other friends. He actually approached the problem instead of a proposing big sales pitch."

Update:

Marc gave me a call shortly after this review was posted and apologized profusely.  He indicated that due to the urgency he sent a subcontractor that has turned out not to be a good guy.  Marc committed to refunding my payment.  Having an issue is one thing, taking responsibility and fixing it is everything.  Thanks Marc.

This is a mixed review.  I was selling a house and had to have a grommet (little plastic insulator) installed in my electrical panel.  Buyer was insistent that the grommet be popped in by a licensed electrician.  I had to get this done and quickly.   Day after the request MI responded drove thru heavy traffic, got there late but got there.  I had the panel open, handed the gent my hardware store grommet grommet, he popped it in and wrote me a note while I closed the panel, took my $125 and was gone. 

All of that was great except that MI did the work three years ago and failed to install the grommet that got me in this jam in the first place.  Hard to feel good about that.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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.

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