"After inspecting the problem, the service man roamed around my house telling me all the things that needed to be fixed. He then showed me the tank was loose and tightened 2 bolts and caulked around the bottom. This visit wound up costing over $400, and could have been done in a matter of minutes. It took 4 phone calls to get a small refund, and cancelled contract."

Victor Electro, Inc. is a family owned business for almost 30 years. We have numerous clients in the commercial and industrial industries but decided to branch out to residential to expand our customer base. We are licensed and insured in the states of PA,NJ, and DE. Mainly, we have only done residential for family members and friends, but want to help other homeowners achieve their electrical needs as well. I'll offer fair pricing with, most importantly, the guarantee that everything will be done right and safe.

"Very well. Victor is very good. Explained everything while he was installing. He left after testing it and verifying that it was working properly. He is one of the best I have hired to provide service for us.."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

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.

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.
