"I called a Thursday after storms blew in and knocked my weather head off the building and wires on the ground. He said he would take a look the next day and see what could be done. Called the next day and said he would have the work done in a few hours! I was so glad I was giving his information and was able to work with Dustin! The work was done exceptional and professional. Will be hiring Dustin in the future for other projects!"

"Dustin & his crew were PHENOMENAL! In a world where you have to micromanage, check in and hope and pray people show up, Three Ridges is a beacon of hope! We had a catastrophic emergency, where the power was literally ripped from the cabin by a tree. These guys, were prompt, respectful, handled everything from A-Z, permit, power company and even came back to make sure everything thing was reconnected after the power company came out to restore the power. I would give 10 million stars. We will ONLY use 3 Ridges from now on, and we will tell everyone we know. Thank you Three Ridges!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.
