"Great product vs. cost ratio. Electrical inspector who checked their work, as required, after installation remarked that 'this company always does good work.' Completed the work in less than a day with little intrusion into my at home activities. One thing I would add is I wish they had spent a little more time explaining the controls and operation. I still don't know what the one circuit breaker on the outside does or if/when it would be used."

EMF Residential LLC: I am a retired electrician from a local utility. I have over 40 years of experience in the electrical field. I focus on residential electrical needs of my customers. I also do some commercial. I do electrical troubleshooting, circuit installation, ceiling fan installation, hot tub circuit installation, new outlets and switches, sub panel installation, smoke alarms. If you have an electrical need I have not listed, feel free to contact me to ask if I can provide that service. I do things to code and I do it for a fair price. I take pride in doing a good job and treating my customers right. Feel free call or text me at 937-217-7253 or email me [email protected]

"I hired Doug to replace a kitchen light and install another one aligned with the first one. Also replace a bathroom exhaust fan/light. He seems to be a nice gentleman, but struggled with the lights and how to run the wires. I finally offered to hold the light so he could attach it, after hearing screws falling and him cursing for awhile. So after 5 hours, he had 1 light up and it was not aligned or straight. He did sweep up and did a little vacuuming before he left. But he left me with an open ceiling spot with insulation that kept falling down. He also broke 2 of the clips for the lights. He used the second lights clips, leaving no clips for the second light. He said he would bring me some, but as of now, he has not. If you have a small job, he may do fine. 5 hours and I still have to have the one thing he did, fixed."

FAQs for generator installation projects in Yellow Springs, OH

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 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.

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
