"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

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.

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.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.
