"John was wonderful. He came to our house to analyze what was wrong with our generator. He and his team worked on it for hours until they fixed the generator. They were here into the dinner hours and would not leave until they had it up and going. There was a big snowstorm coming that weekend, so it was great that he was able to fix it before the snowstorm."

"I cannot say enough about Mustafa! He came on a Wednesday to assess the work I needed done (installation of exterior nest cam with flood lights and troubleshoot a breaker issue), and, because I was in such a bind he offered to come on Sunday, his day off! He ended up texting me Thursday with availability Friday evening, a HUGE relief! He arrived Friday as promised had the light installed in all of 30 minutes, and then spent the next 2 and half hours running up and down two flights of stairs to thoroughly troubleshoot the problem between the top floor and the fuse box in the basement. He was able to repair the issue very quickly and easily once it was found. He put everything back as it was and left the area neat and tidy! When came to pay, his cost was extremely reasonable, less than I anticipated! In addition, Mustafa is extremely professional and reliable, but also wicked personable and friendly! Hire Mustafa the next time you need an electrician; I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.
