"I'm very pleased with the install. The owner is very responsive to my questions and very accommodating. The price was very reasonable and the job was difficult (high ceiling install - delicate crystal chandelier and a fan). I will use this company again."

"Excellent team and professional electricians. For my home remodel, they went above and beyond my expectations. They removed the old electrical, fixtures, receptacles, panels, etc and installed everything new. They saved our home from a severe fire hazard, and they will be back to install the kitchen electrical again soon."

"I recently reached out to Two Rivers to provide a 50 AMP circuit to our hot tub on our new deck + a 20 AMP circuit for some new outdoor outlets. I was kept updated from beginning to end. The estimate appointment was timely and accurate, I received follow up calls to let me know they were in route was helpful. The quote process was clear and well organized. On the day of the work I was given a call and notified of activity as it progressed each step of the way. Work was completed in the estimate time (2 days) and everything was left in order and well organized. After installation everything tested well during confirmation. Excellent and friendly customer service was delivered throughout every phase of the project. I would highly recommend using them and would use them again in the future."

"I highly recommend Doyle Electric for any electrical needs. The outdoor lighting they installed transformed the appearance of our home, adding a touch of elegance and charm. Their work is truly impressive. We were so pleased that we hired them again to install a ceiling fan in our living room, which required running all new electrical since there was no existing fan or lighting. Every aspect of their work has been outstanding, showcasing their skill and attention to detail. What stands out the most, however, is their professionalism and dedication to quality service. Doyle Electric is a top choice for anyone!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

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.

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.

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.
