"Highly recommend this company! Tom is extremely quick to respond and is very quick to schedule services. Tom came to mount a TV with in-wall wire concealment and I asked him while he was working if he knew anyone that could hang a chandelier in my baby’s nursery. I had done some pricing around for the chandelier to be hung and the cheapest quote I got was over $200. Tom charged only $65 and made time to hang it up right after he mounted the tv. Great quality work with exceptional pricing. I’m so glad I asked about the chandelier... it saved me quite a bit of money! He also told me that he hangs fans, pictures and does home camera installation as well. I kept his card for any future services we may need assistance with!"

"Ell is a very knowledgeable professional who treats your home and time with great importance. Ell was hired to diagnose and fix a ac issue on a newly purchased home, he can put in a timely manner and very reasonable price. He took the time to inspect the unit and then educate myself on the functionality of the equipment. He was able to provide me with the proper maintenance schedule and what to look for in my AC system. Ell provided me with filters and directed me to the best products for the future. Ell installed additional sensors at cost to ease my concerns of disaster situations. Ell demonstrated superior knowledge but also provided outstanding customer service. I am a lifelong customer and do not want anyone else but the Cooling Kings to service my home."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

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.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.
