"This is definitely the guy to hire if you need any electrical work done! He was kind and exceptionally professional. It was supposed to be a simple ceiling fan replacement. However, Larry found a serious problem with my wiring that I'm blessed didn't actually cause a fire in my home. He showed me the problem and fixed it even though that really should have been a separate call. I am over the top pleased with the service and work performance. I HIGHLY recommend Top Notch Electrical and Larry!!! 5 STARS!!!"

"These young men took the inner working of the main electrical power distribution center of my house loose. Dismantled the connections and removed the panel, installed A new panel box, installed all the proper breaker and connected the wiring back in the right order. All in all an amazing feat to be completed in the time in was done. Puled up to the house at 7 in the morning and by 1:30 early the same afternoon power shut off to the house, MDP (main distribution Panel) and all associated hardware switched over, inspected and approved by State Electrical Inspector, and power restored. WOW. This company is about a year old and the young man that owns it is old school. His thinking is simple and straight forward. If I need work done and I'm in the area, one decision will be easy to make.

Generator Install questions, 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.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

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

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

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

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home
