"I had 3 different companies tell me my Generac home generator was beyond repair including Generac themselves. Brian from Powerton showed up and methodology troubleshooting the problem removed the entire engine and found then problem. He is extremely knowledgeable and persistent. Wonderful to see a highly skilled technician rather than someone who says just replace with a new one. I would highly recommend this company. If all their technicians are as skilled as Brian this place is AAA++. Thanks so much"

"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

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.
