"Mike and his assistant replaced my seriously outdated smoke detectors in the basement and first floor, replaced a second floor smoke detector with a combo smoke/carbon monoxide detector and in the attic replaced a heat detector. While at my house, they also looked at a poorly installed outlet in the basement and brought it up to standard and installed an outlet on my front porch! They were quick and extremely helpful and left no mess behind. I will definitely call MKS Electric again if I need any further electrical work done at my house."

"The workmanship was top notch. New sump pump, back up battery, plumbing and new drains were installed. The guys who installed were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. All of the above at what I though was a very fair price. I would use them again in a heartbeat."

"I would recommend this electrician to everyone I know. We purchased a new home and they were very flexible working around the plumbers and the carpet installation as well. The work is top quality and they were very accommodating to our vision for what we wanted. Corey also made helpful suggestions as we planned the project for things we may not have thought of and let us choose what we wanted. Couldn't be happier with the entire experience!"

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.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.
