"Beyond Disappointed. A and S Mechanical came to our house to fix our furnace. After three trips to our house spanning nearly a month, the water from our furnace was still not hooked up. On the third trip, nearly three hours was spent cutting and re-soldering the same pipe, which was ultimately never completed without leaks. On the fourth time, a different technician undid the mess the first employee did, and finally finished our furnace. In the month that it took to finish our furnace, we had three water leaks, one of which was in a finished room in our basement. Additionally, we needed to call A and S an evening after the technician left to get direction on how to turn our water back on because the technician had turned the water off at an unknown location and failed to turn it back on. With that nightmare behind us, we figured talking to the owner(s) would give us some satisfaction; but we were wrong again. We asked the owner to call us after the fourth trip, which they never did. I called to speak to the owner, who was unavailable, but assured they would call me back. No one ever did, however, we got an incredible bill in the mail for a greater amount of time than the technician was even at our house. The owner was called again, but was not in. She conveniently called at the end of business, so when we returned her phone call 15 minutes later, the office was closed. We called the next business day, to which we were told again she would call back, but she did not. Calling A and S again near the end of business that same day prompted one of the owners to finally call us back. She discussed the issues with us and advised she would review everything and call me back. Of course she didn’t, and we instead just received another bill in the mail. She was happy to suggest sending their most experienced technician to look at our furnace, to try to get more money from us, but we declined. To be clear, we hired A and S Mechanical to fix our furnace, which took four trips, the last two of which were to just clean up the mess from the first two visits. We were charged for the labor to undue their own messes. We had three water leaks, one of which was discovered by walking down to our basement and hearing the water gushing down the wall and pooling on the floor. After all this, the customer service was even worse than the damage done by the employees. We are thankful they didn’t do more damage to our home."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.
