"Highly recommend!! In 16 years, we have never had a need for a generator. We were told we were on the hospital grid. Well, apparently, those grids change. Over the last year, we have had too many electrical problems with long outages leading us to come to the decision that it would be prudent for us to buy a generator. After doing the research and seeing all the details involved with ordering, preparation, installation, etc, we decided there are too many important details and decided to look for someone to do everything for us. It's incredibly important to know that we came to this decision in December, 2020 (height of generator demand), during a pandemic and during a time of an extreme nationwide generator shortage. While researching, we saw so many people waiting months for a generator from other companies, trying to do everything themselves, waiting for the transfer switch, then an electrician and so on. We figured we would be lucky to have it for next winter. We met with Matt Sanford, he went over everything in detail, looked at the potential sites for the generator and the propane tanks, measured, etc. He could have sold us a bigger generator, but he thought it would be a waste for us to spend extra money on a specific generator I "assumed" we needed. Matt determined the size needed, made recommendations and we, happily, gave him a down payment check. He said 4-6 weeks. I still had my doubts, but here I am writing a review 4 weeks later, because the installation is complete. It is a two-day process. The workers who installed it showed up shortly before the expected time with masks on, were clear and concise, informative, professional and were very courteous of their surroundings including inside the house. In all honesty, I was floored with their demeanor. They completely took me by surprise and it was well above my expectations. When they called to book the installation, I was told the electricity "could be" out for several hours. We planned for several hours. When they arrived, they said it would be an hour or two. It was out for 15 minutes. They do as much as they can in advance so the power is out for as little time as possible, but there can be issues. DO NOT plan that your power would be out for that short period of time. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. The next person, who installs the gas portion, arrived bright and early the next day. He was just as nice, informative and professional as the workers the day before. The communication from the company is stellar. The people they have working for them are fantastic. I cannot say enough good about our entire experience. You WILL NOT be disappointed. By the way, here's something I didn't even know existed until Matt told me about it. Ask about the house surge protector. Even my insurance company had never heard of it. I wish I had known about it when it came out. Also, based on the work involved with the generator, it is comforting to know we are paying them for maintenance, monitoring, etc. In my opinion, this is a complicated machine to install and maintain. They see everything our generator is doing and if something is not right, they'll send someone out before we even know something is "not right". You don't want to be caught in a major outage and have a failing system. You go through the big expense of buying it and installing it, make sure it's taken care of on a regular basis by a professional just like your car, home heating system, etc. I highly recommend this company."

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.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

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.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
