"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."

"I used Peak Power to install the electric for an above ground pool we had installed. Adam with Peak was incredibly helpful and responsive. My pool installers had many delays and ultimately finished the pool almost a month after the initial planned install. Adam/Peak were responsive to the ever shifting timeline and made it out within a few days of the completed pool install and almost a month after the plan. The scope of the project increased a little based after the final install and the Peak team was up front, honest and fair about the additional work and materials required. I would highly recommend Peak for all your electric needs."

FAQs for generator install projects in Windham, NH

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:

  • Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000

  • Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300

  • Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

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.

The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:

  • Experience frequent or prolonged power outages

  • Work from home

  • Store a lot of cold food

  • Have a sump pump

  • Have a pump for well water

  • Use electronic medical devices

  • Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
