Chapman Builders LLC is a responsive, professional, and honest company that specializes in electrical work. Fully licensed and insured in NH. Some of the main installs I do include 200 amp home service upgrades, led lighting installs, and removing old wiring such as knob and tube. Chapman Builders LLC also does other things such as home rot repairs, remodels, flooring, and much more.

"Charles was heartily recommended by my neighbor who, like me, has lots of home remodeling experience. The main task was to replace a whole house generator and, as it turned out, upgrade/rationalize multiple older panels servicing a big home, apt and shop. Charles presented several options with rough estimates, I picked one and he gave a firm estimate with itemized parts list and labor. We picked a date and Charles executed the plan…as planned. A little color. Charles is a big, fit, articulate young man with a strong sense of how a professional ought to comport himself. He started work on the main panel in my garage. Late November in NH. His shoes were sitting by the door and he was working in his socks. I didn’t expect it but what a pleasure to find such a pro. What about $ you ask. I estimate that I saved $10k compared to you know who. "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

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.

Yes, whole-house generators run constantly for extended periods. Whole-house generators can run for longer periods of time than portable generators, but be careful. First, they may need regular applications of engine oil (as frequently as daily), depending on the engine design. Second, running constantly for several days will increase the wear and tear on the generator and shorten its lifespan.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.
