"Mr. Wadford was and is very responsive to any query or request. He was always on time as was the installer. He was very patient and thorough in explaining the system operation and Bluetooth software. He insured that I understood everything and answered any and all questions. I have only had the system for a short time but it is performing perfectly. This project is to replace n old system. This new system cost $1500 less than the 20 year old system it replaced. The Wadford Water Works provides a quality system as well as quick, efficient and professional installation. I am thoroughly pleased with my decision with my choice to do business with Mr. Wadford."

"The company does great work. I am please with the work. They worked fast and were very friendly. They will be installing more lights for me in the near future. The lights that I bought for him to install in the kitchen doesn’t light up the kitchen enough, so since I liked the design of light so much the owner suggested that i place the same exact light in another area of the kitchen. Great idea. He was hundreds dollars cheaper than other quotes that I received. They do wonderful work. I have already recommended him to my sister that needs electrical work."

"I had four electrical outlets that were not working. I scheduled an appointment with Tony from Trident Electric. He called me about an hour before my appointment to see if I was available so he could come early. I was, so he came right over. He immediately got to work troubleshooting my electrical problem. It was a complicated problem, because there was a disconnected or broken wire somewhere in the wall. However, he was able to fix the problem, and all of my electrical outlets are now working. Tony cleaned up after himself, and he is very courteous and knowledgeable. And this was all done for a very reasonable price! I will definitely call Trident Electric again for any electrical problems."

"Electrician was prompt and friendly. Worked very quickly. I had purchased a full day and he had gotten through most of my items by the mid-day point. A couple of my ceiling fan light kits were not working properly and needed a little extra attention to troubleshoot. Also the doorbell I had purchased needed a transformer in order to complete install. The tech was eager to leave and said he would come back another day if wanted him to. When I tried to schedule a follow up, he was booked up for at least the next 3 weeks. I was disappointed that since I had paid and booked for a full day, he didn't stick around long enough for me to run to the store and get whatever supplies might be needed so the job could be finished that day. Also after he left, we realized one of the regular light fixtures that was installed wasn't working. Considering I paid for a full day and only got a half day of work, and had to pay someone else to come back and finish the job, I don't feel like I got a great deal."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
