"I had a disappointing experience working with Corey. He did an ok job installing the panel upgrade, but I failed inspection and he ghosted me after asking him to come back to fix it. -He did not realize or inform me each panel upgrade requires a whole house surge protector after 2020 NEC codes, leading me to fail my electrical inspection. -He put in PVC conduits but he did not put in expansion joints according to the electric code, which also lead to another failure in inspection, this was very expensive to fix. -He did not pay the township the permit money that I paid to him, basically robbing me the permit fees. -He stopped responding to text and phone calls after I contacted him after a 2 months of chasing him -I had to hire another electrician out of my own pocket to fix his install. He was affordable at first but it ended up costing me MORE in the long run to fix his conduit install, add surge protector and had to pay the permit fees AGAIN because he didn't pay the town. "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

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

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

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. 

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.
