"I had a power outage in the back of my house that has two refrigerators. I called to electrical contractors in Warren. The first one I left a voice mail then called the emergency number and left a message there. After about an hour I didn't hear from him so I called the next number I had and left a message he called back a little while later told him what I had and he tried to blow it off to the electric company. I had tried to see what the problem was myself when I got to the point I didn't know what was wrong. I went to Angie's List then Home Advisor. Fifteen minutes later I get a call from Good's. I told her what I had and we scheduled the appointment. The tech called me on the morning of the appointment and said he was on his way. When he arrived I told what I had and what I did. He looked at my panel and said it was an old one which I knew because its the same panel that's been there since I was a kid. He said he could get me going again and he'd give a couple of options on what I could do. He told me that I was going to have to replace that old panel because if I decided to sell the house I'd have to bring it up to code. I had a choice of replacing everything from the top of the house to the panel in the basement which included putting the wiring in conduit or not. I chose to have the wiring in conduit replacing the meter box and the breaker panel box. We scheduled the appointment and that morning he called to tell me he was on the way. When he got there he and his partner went right to work taking out the old wiring the meter box and old panel out. They replaced everything including putting conduit up for the wiring and a new 100 amp panel. I have to tell you that the only way you know they have been here is because of the new equipment they installed because they cleaned up all the old equipment and hauled it away. I am very appreciative of the customer service and professionalism I was shown by the techs. I will be using them from now on and recommend them to anyone who needs electrical heating or AC work. I can't say enough good things about them."

Generator Install questions, 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. 

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

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.

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.
