"We needed some network cables run and Techhelp4You did an excellent job. Very professional. We ran into an issue with the network cabling route through the ceiling and another option was offered and the job finished. Was very reasonably priced and definitely would hire again."

"This is not hyperbole. This company exceeded my expectations more than any I have ever worked with. The speed, efficiency, quality of work, professionalism, and value all 10/10. I have dealt with these issues a while and went through other electricians in an effort to diagnose the issue and get it fixed. The ease that Todd from Waibel diagnosed the problems proves the difference when getting real pros. Ease your mind and wallet and call Waibel it will be the best choice you can make. I can not ensure it will be as cheap as what mine cost but I can assure you they will not take advantage of you and will give you the absolute best service and price available. They literally saved me thousands from what others were trying to get me to spend that I did not need to."

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.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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.
