"It was nice working with Stonehouse Electric. It was a pretty big project as the entire house needed rewired. Being able to hit the "easy button" and have them come in and do everything took a lot off of my plate. On bigger projects, it is easy to have misunderstandings or changes along the way. Whenever this did happen, they were quick to step in and fix things and make it right at every turn. I would definitely do business with them again."

"They did a great job. They stopped by and gave me a breakdown of my electrical use and estimates on different options for a generator. They also found the perfect spot to put it. The day of installation, they showed up on time and put in a full day installing the generator. It works great and looks great. Now I don't have to worry about outages, especially in the winter."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

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.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
