"Home and changes are fine, but footer leaks and had to install sump pump and dehumidifier with full encap in crawl space. Also, builder didn’t use full dimensional lumber, but used ijoists without fire protection. Carried plastic gas line through the crawl space wall. Used 5x5 wooden piers to hold up my home instead of building block piers. Had to install jack posts to cover for this."

Today's homeowner seeks our permanently installed, backup offerings, because they want the benefits of having power restored automatically, in seconds, when millions of other people in the U.S., lose power each week. Today's home is more than the family hub - it is for many the work place, and for others - a place to convalesce. Home office and medical equipment need electricity. While electricity was a luxury a hundred years ago; today electricity is essential to our way of life. Centrally produced power, certainly a great value, comes with the limitations of reliability inherit with miles of wires and other infrastructure.

"From start to finish RCWatt was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. There was no high sales pressure. RCWatt arrived on time, assessed my individual situation, inspected the inside and outside of my house to determine the best site for installation, and presented options for me based on what we discussed. He explained every aspect in detail and answered each and every question to my satisfaction. I approved the options to update my 35 year old electrical service and panel at a discount as well as the addition of full house surge protection. The generator was installed within 30 days of my acceptance. The technicians were very professional and friendly and stayed on the job that day until it was finished! The areas they worked within were as clean when they left as when they arrived. Matt was very knowledgeable and gave great instructions on the generator's use following it's installation. I highly recommend RCWatt and would choose this firm again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts
Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.
If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together.
A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.
If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.
The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.
