"Excellent service all the time. I needed an dedicated outlet installed for a dryer and call Shey Weimann. They came out provided me a quote and did the work. That was about a year ago. Since then I had them replaced and relocated the 2 main electrical panels in my basement from one side to another as well as just the other day install another dedicated electrical over my stove for a microwave and replace 4 outlets in the kitchen and check and repair one of my outside outlets. Each time they pricing was far and their guys are very professional and clean up after they are done. Even if you say that is ok I will get it, you get no that is my job. When they replaced the panels I had an issues with the inspection that was not their fault (just a hard-nose inspector) but Shay and Linda made sure that it was addressed. This is one if not the best contractor I have ever dealt with. You receive Excellent service from the first call till the job is complete."

"It was this Christmas eve during a storm and we lost power. I started up my emergency generator and it was working just fine. As the night wore on the generator started to loose power and after about an hour finally stopped generating power. I have two sump pumps that keep my basement from flooding as water levels rise from beneath and 3 refrigerators and a freezer full of food. I was aware that the upcoming New Years eve should be stormy as well, therefore getting the generator up and running was a priority. I called numerous companies that claim to service and repair generators although until I reached Rick at Raw Power none actually did repairs. Rick came to the rescue and my priority became his priority. He scheduled the repair the very next day. On the scheduled day he called to let me know he would be at my house an hour early. He is a total professional that goes the extra mile we so frequently hear about but seldom see. Once at the house he quickly analyzed the problem. Since he didn't have the required part, he found a store that had it, left to get it and promptly returned to complete the repair. There were no surprises as he was completely up front as to the costs. He even spent extra time with me reviewing how to run and maintain my generator, as well as, proper electrical connections."

"Brian was awesome and fast and courteous. Princeton Electrical was easy to communicate and negotiate with, and offers a fair price for their labor. Had a Level 2 EV charger installed from my townhouse basement to my garage in a few hours without problems."

"Plesh electric did a fantastic job installing our whole house generator. We don’t have natural gas so we had to also had to have a propane tank installed. They did a great job organizing with the propane company and managing the township permits. I highly recommend them."

"A very quick response, availability and quote. Mike installed Google nest during the same visit as investigation. The install required running a c-wire which he did. The original wires on thermostat were marked reverse. He could see that and fixed the issue. At the end, I have a working Smart thermostat which was not a typical install. The cost was about 33% higher than I expected. But he was there, so I thought it was better than finding a different pro."

"John Paulikas installed an EV charger at my home and did a fantastic job. He was friendly, professional, and clearly knew what he was doing. He explained everything along the way, showed up on time, and kept the work area clean. The install went smoothly and the charger works perfectly. It’s obvious John takes pride in his work and cares about doing things the right way. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician, especially for EV charger installation."

FAQs for generator install projects in Edison, NJ

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
