"Doing business with Goods Electric•Heating•Air was the best experience. This site would not allow for 5 STARS which is what GOODS deserves. This company and staff exceeded expectations. The staff worked diligently to ensure I was engaged in every step of the process. The communication, the team’s cohesiveness provided me with being a participant in this project. It was seamless from start to finish. The skill set of each team member enhanced the other. They use the best products which are highly rated, effective and efficient. Within a short time span the difference in my home was apparent. Their goal is 100% customer satisfaction. Indeed, I was 100% satisfied. The culmination of this excellence was in the masterful craftsmanship and skill of the two installers, Corey and Julian. I was present during the almost nine hours of their labor as they worked inside and outside. Their commitment to excellence, their expertise, their adherence to every detail, their focus, and their interlocked communication was something to watch unfold. Equally noteworthy was their patience and dedication in making sure the final product eas perfection. It was. After they were finished I was walked through everything they had done and given a master class in the operation of my new air condition system. 5 STARS for this excellent company and remarkable staff. I am grateful and appreciative. Time and money well spent. Thank you so very much. Carol"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

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.

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. 

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.
