"Steve came over & fixed my generator so it would work if I needed it the day I contacted him. I then hired him to do the annual maintenance on it. He is very friendly and much more reasonable than the company I bought the generator from. I definitely would recommend him."

"The owner Nate came to our house and provided a quote. His team did an excellent job following-up to schedule the job, securing the township permits, and installing the generator. I highly recommend hiring Monyer Electric if you're looking for a back-up generator."

"We had a complicated request in that the project we wanted done was the installation and setup of both a Solar Panel system and a Whole Home Generator. The project started in March 2022 with the owner, Nate, responding to my contact request for a quote along with two other firms all of whom came within a few dollars of one another. My initial dealing with Nate as well as his response to questions after meeting convinced me he was the best choice which proved to be correct. Nate provided very detailed quotes for both portions of the project that laid everything out clearly in black and white. We knew there would be delays at our end with securing a home equity loan and dealing with our HOA and Township and Nate was upfront about supply delays, mark before you dig delays (it was determined early our natural gas line was undersized and needed replaced and done at no charge by the utility), inspections and finally the interconnect to the grid. All of these where handled between us and Monyer and although a slow process as he had described it went smoothly. Even before the Generator had arrived they had us scheduled pending the delivery of the Generator so we had a locked in date. Shipping held up them receiving the Generator but they reached out as soon as they knew and we rescheduled the installation based on the new ETA and they where easy to work with scheduling when I could be home and not traveling for work. The day of installation came and the Generator was installed very professionally and neatly and I was given a very good training on what I needed to know. Shortly after the Generator Installation being completed the Solar Equipment was received by the Solar company Nate contracts with to do that specialized work and again they scheduled us when it worked for them around when I would be home for several days as it is a much more complicated installation both on the roof and at the meter but again everything went like butter and was done neatly and professionally. At this point we where actually up and running with the Solar Panels generating power and the Whole Home Generator ready to do its job in the event of a power outage but we still needed the final Township inspection and the replacement of the electric meter with a bidirectional meter. We knew from previous experience that our Township works in its own sweet time which they did but the work passed inspection with no problems and then with two weeks our electric utility had the new bidirectional meter installed completing the project in its entirety in mid-November 2022 at which point final payment was made. Throughout the entire process Nate or a member of his staff was always in contact with us keeping us informed as to how their side of the project was going and keeping up to date with the little we had to stay on top of as the home owners. It was the same for Monyers Solar contractor who was always in contact with us and responded to us quickly when we reached out to them. I cannot say enough good things about our dealings with Monyer Electric from before starting to the ultimate finish."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

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.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.
