"R C Heating & Air Conditioning Servicemen arrived on time on a 90 plus degree
day, removed the old system and installed the new system. They were so
quiet and cleaned up so thoroughly that I wouldn't have realized they
were here without seeing the new air conditioning system and reaping the
cool benefit. I would highly recommend R C Heating & Air Conditioning,
especially the owner Rich Crivaro, who was on site to make sure the job
went smoothly.

"We live out of state and our 2nd home is almost completely shut down but we have been getting high bills like we were living there. Called Kim's on a Sunday and they went over there the next day and diagnosed the breaker box/breakers/wires were pulling electricity. They installed new box/breakers and some wiring. Asked and they sent pictures with their work. Since it just happened and we are not there to confirm everything, it is too early to tell if this fixed the problem but we are keeping our fingers crossed and Dave was very helpful. We thought the price was kind of high, but being across the country and not knowing an electrician we could trust it was decided to get this done anyway and not waste more time shopping quotes. Based on the pictures I received, they did everything they quoted and it looks good."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

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