"Lester came to fix three problems and ended up fixing four. The first was the outlet in the kitchen which kept tripping the fuse and then he replaced the fixture in the utility room with one I had bought. Next he went to the hardware store for a fixture to replace the one in the laundry room and a part to fix the doorbell. He worked quickly and efficiently, and was very pleasant. I would definitely hire him again."

"Jake was super friendly, able to install quickly, and cleaned up as if nothing had been done! We had Jake install a sub panel, a 50A outlet, and a Tesla Wall Charger in my garage. My service entrance was on the other side of the house and he had to fish the feed through our finished basement in a chase. Very happy with the install, everything was done right the first time. Would recommend to anyone!"

"Andie performed, through his great worker Kyle, a new meter installation and power hookup to a barn. There was trenching involved, which took a whole day, and hooking up the wiring to a barn and well pump. Well worth the money I spent. Will use him again."

"I estimate I have just under $100k in electronics and appliances in my house. We have significant lightning storms in my location. To NOT have lightning suppression installed is significant risk in my mind based on my location in New Jersey. RS LIGHTNING PROTECTION was responsive with a quick cost estimate and a reasonable price based on my research for installation. By the way...installation is part art, such as bends in cable are not more than 90 degrees. It's not just about running grounded cables. This installation in conjunction with surge protection on my electrical panel performed by my electrician and cable protection gives me significant piece of mind that all my appliances and electronics are protected from lightning and any potential surge generated by a near strike. Mr Richard Sherlock knows his subject. Highly recommended. Five stars."

"Deon was amazing. I had hired this company last year. They did an amazing job then, so I called them again for this job. Deon is very knowledgeable, personable, easy to talk to, and very easy to work with. He knows exactly what he’s doing and gets right to it. He explains things every step of the way. And, the prices are very fair. When I talked to Deon on the phone, he asked me if I was able to do laundry at home. And, since the outlet that needed replaced was the outlet for the washer, he was able to come out within 2 days. Great, great company. I told Deon that when we move he was going with us. Will definitely hire this company again."

FAQs for generator install projects in Riverside, OH

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:

  • Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000

  • Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300

  • Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

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.

The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:

  • Experience frequent or prolonged power outages

  • Work from home

  • Store a lot of cold food

  • Have a sump pump

  • Have a pump for well water

  • Use electronic medical devices

  • Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
