"I had an emergency generator installed and one of the installers did not Install the gas line properly. After some calls and some back and forth, I get a call from customer service manager and she got someone out and took care of it family fast. The leak was still there and when they came out the second time discovered it was a new leak from the gas company changing out my meter. So the second leak was not the fault of this company. Their work on the generator and install was good, the customer service could use a bit of tweeking but overall I would definitely recommend."

"Audrey and Gary Gravatt are very nice people and did a great job installing a Generac standby generator for my 94 year old mother who is now safer and more secure living alone in the home she loves. I would highly recommend the Gravatts and am grateful for the excellent service they provided."

"Although this review and my comments should have been done months ago I was delayed because of a water line/drain line massive problem that took my time. ANYHOW, Erie was a pleasure to have in my home as his demeanor and knowledge was so very 'on spot' with the two electrical project I wanted done. It was impressive that after our meeting at my house, or which he was, as said great to discuss issues with and to my appreciation ,,,, kept me updated on his workings with the city of Pittsburgh to get my one major project done. He will be used for both the electrical major project. Also, his bids for one of the two jobs was absolutely the lowest of the contractors,,,and within what I thought the job cost would be. I WILL BE HIRING HIM TO DO MY JOBS AND RECOMMEND HIS INITIAL SERVICE. I will keep you updated after the projects get started and through completion. GREAT JOB ERIC!"

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. 

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.
