Q: What size generator do I need for my house?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-generator-do-i-need.htm">Generator size requirements</a> vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:</p><ul><li><p>1,000 sq ft: 6&ndash;9 kW</p></li><li><p>1,500 sq ft: 7&ndash;10 kW</p></li><li><p>2,000 sq ft: 10&ndash;14kW</p></li><li><p>2,500 sq ft: 12&ndash;16kW</p></li><li><p>3,000 sq ft: 16&ndash;20kW+</p></li></ul><p>Unfortunately, home square footage isn&rsquo;t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you&rsquo;d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.</p></div>

Q: Do under cabinet lights use a lot of electricity?

• <div><p>If you install LED bulbs, they will use much less energy than incandescent bulbs. LED light strips also use less power. Battery-operated puck lights use no electricity at all, but you will need to replace the batteries as needed. They are beneficial if your power goes out, too, as they will remain on as a light source. </p></div>

Q: What runs up your electric bill the most?

• <div><p>The number one culprit of high energy bills is older appliances, especially fridges and freezers that are left on all the time. These two appliances tend to last a long time, which is good, but it also means that newer models are usually significantly more energy-efficient due to upgraded technology. The second most common reason for a high bill is heating and air conditioning. </p></div>

Q: How much electricity does a sump pump use?

• <div><p>A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as <b>$15-$25 a month</b>.</p></div>

Q: Do whole-house dehumidifiers use a lot of electricity?

• <div><p>Dehumidifiers typically use 300 to 700 watts of electricity per hour, whereas portable dehumidifiers use about 40 watts per hour. The exact amount of electricity your dehumidifier will generate depends on its capacity and energy efficiency. Generally, higher-capacity dehumidifiers generate more electricity than lower-capacity units, but they also usually have better energy efficiency over the long run. </p></div>

They were very friendly and efficient. We discussed what I wanted cleaned ahead of time - floors, baseboards, window blinds, bathrooms, etc. and I was not disappointed. I will definitely be using them again.
