"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 questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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. 

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

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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.
