"The two electricians came in and began searching the fuse box and finally found the switch that wasn't working. They also performed a checkup on my electric system at my request. They did a very good job and I do recommend them for anyone who needs the help."

"We received a home security system & Ring door bell from our Kids for Christmas. Unfortunately, we didnâ t have a convenient or inconspicuous place for the modem and needed the Ring installed as well. We know nothing about electric, so I called CCEC and spoke to Patrick. He was very professional and friendly, he made me feel at ease about putting a new outlet in the wall and promised it would be tidy and behind the tv. â You wont be able to see itâ Iâ m a bit of a neat freak so this was important to me. I was so at ease with him that I also asked him to install a dimmer switch in our kitchen, again something Iâ ve always wanted but had no clue or time to do it. On appointment day Patrick showed up on time and ready to go! Jobs were done in a timely matter and the rooms looked just as they did before he started. Patricks work was very professional and so reasonably priced we asked him to come back and install a new pool light. He has done that now too, And again, great service, great pricing, as well as excellent communication (Iâ m technically challenged, he very patiently showed me how to change the colors from my phone as well as manually!) I would highly recommend CCEC, Patricks work is amazing! Patrick, Iâ m already working on a new list and will be calling you soon!!! Thank you for jobs well done!!!!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit
