"Butch and Chris installed a whole house fan, medicine cabinet with lights and replaced some wall switches for me. They were professional, friendly, and did the work in a timely fashion. The work they did is top-quality. When they were finished, they not only cleaned up, but took the debris and shipping boxes with them. I will call them again for all of my electrical projects."

"I commend the exceptional quality of service provided by CW Electrical Services Inc. I appreciated their efficient and responsive customer service, the level of detail and accountability they exhibited as my projects were completed, and the overall way they conducted business. I used Angie’s List to select five companies who specialized in the replacement of my electrical panel and breakers and the installation of flood lights in my backyard. I selected CW Electrical Services because of their excellent reviews, and I was not disappointed. I met with David Hoak who gave helpful advice regarding the type of backyard lighting I needed, the recommended location of these flood lights and outlets, and the selection of the best replacements for my electrical panel and breakers. He was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive to my needs. During the installation process, the collective abilities of the two electricians complimented each other during the meticulous installation process. They did an excellent job and I would recommend CW Electrical Services Inc. to others with no hesitation."

"Our ceiling fan installation required a return trip because the fan required a rework of the supplied parts, custom fitting of new parts and professional adjustment of the fan. I called Thursday at 3:00. Friday at 9:00 the work began. Customer satisfaction is 100%. Highly recommend Awesome Electric."

"My experience with Livewire was perfect. They contacted me quickly after I visited Home Advisor, they showed up for the estimate on time, and they were equally punctual when they performed the service. I would highly recommend Livewire to anyone seeking electrical work in their home."

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:
Refrigerator: 600 watts
Large dehumidifier: 700 watts
Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts
Water heater: 3,000 watts
Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
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.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
