"A wonderful experience for a complicated project! I would use Green Sun Energy again for any service they provide. They made the generator install as easy and painless as possible. The crew was kind and efficient. Lots to do for an install such as this but they did it quickly, efficiently and were extremely organized. Just how I like it! Thank you so much!! We feel protected for whatever comes our way."

"The initial estimate was very reasonable. Nick showed up, on time, and got right to work relocating several ceiling fans, installing new light fixtures, rewiring outlets, and adding a new outlet. In the end, we were billed less than the original estimate because Nick determined there was a less expensive way to perform some of these services and did not charge us the extra costs. We will definitely be calling Kingdom Electric for any future services we need."

"Scott s Electrical company did an amazing job. I had them put in a whole home standby generator and was very particular on how I wanted the generator to be placed/installed including wiring underground. Scott was very thorough in his work that even the inspectors complimented all the wiring. Customer service was top notch. They were always available to answer any questions and did all the legwork for acquiring permits and just made it absolutely seamless for me (the homeowner). I truly loved working with these guys as I know nothing about this stuff and all I care about is making sure my family is safe in case of a power outage which happens quite often near us. After the install, Scott walked through the generator with both my wife and I and also simulated a power outage to show us how the generator kicks on and made sure everything works that we purchased the generator for. I would definitely recommend this business to my family/friends. Genuine people who love what they do and take pride in their work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.
