"I volunteered to remodel a newly purchased house built in 1952 (with three subsequent additions over time) for my elderly sister who was moving to Albuquerque. The wiring situation in the house was very complicated - there were three separate electrical boxes being used, with one the original from 1952. I had an incredibly difficult time finding electricians willing to take on the task of combining these boxes and adding new wiring. Most electrical companies I called had no interest in this job and the few times I convinced an electrical company to come out, evaluate the situation, and provide an estimate - I never received a call back. I had a very limited time in which to have the house finished and I lost a lot of sleep agonizing over who might come and help me out. Then True Light Electric was recommended to me by the HVAC company I was using ... and True Light was indeed the brightest light in this otherwise difficult remodel I was attempting. They came over immediately after my call, walked through and evaluated all that needed to be done and, decided they would be willing to accept the challenge -- and challenge it was. They provided an extremely reasonable estimate that I gladly accepted. Their knowledgeable, personable, and hard working technicians worked to fit my compressed schedule and satisfy all the electrical needs of the remodel. Their technicians were always punctual, friendly, and easy to talk with. They readily explained what they were doing, how they were doing it, and discussed with me the best way to resolve the unforeseen issues they found. Along with consolidation of the existing wiring and adding fans and new outlets, there was the complete wiring of a new kitchen. Now, after the completion of their work, I feel confident that the electrical system in the house is safe and reliable for my sister. I highly recommend this company for any type of electrical work and would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

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.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.
