"I had a whole-house generator installed by an electrical contractor. It was wired incorrectly. I made an appointment with Mr. Electric of Queensbury, NY. They diagnosed the issue, ordered the parts, and installed them in a reasonable time. This was not their problem, but they treated it like it was. I am very impressed with their professionalism. Their employee Brian treated our home like it was his. When he had to enter our home, he put covers on his boots so he wouldn't track mud and snow into our home. He gave us an ETA for when he would come to do the work and explained the billing. If I need any electrical work done in the future, it will be done by Mr. Electric of Queensbury, NY."

Customers say: Quality work

"Only one of three companies who returned my call. Replaced all CFGI outlets per my request. One was not working (reason for the call). Pointed out an original installation issue in the kitchen and fixed. Replaced a Fluorescent Ballast. Reset an outlet box that was not set properly in the wall. As part of their service, they did a free circuit breaker box inspection. Reasonable priced."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
