"My inverter went out and the company that installed my solar system went out of business. I was having a hard time finding any one to help resolve my issue until I called Your Home Solar and talked to Anita she was very polite professional an courteous. She setup the appointment for the install. Bryan came out to do the install and he was also very polite professional an courteous I found Bryan to be very passionate about his work knowledgeable and more then willing to go out of his way to help me. He also found my backup battery was bad. He called the manufacturer and arranged a RMA for it at no cost to me. They even put me on there Monitoring system. Thanks Your Home Solar"

"Doug is reliable.. when he says he will be there.. he is... when he gives you an estimate it's more then fair and very close to what he thought it would be. He knows his stuff and he is very personable too. You don't get that with many trades people. I would hire him again and would recommend him highly to everyone I know"

"Thomas is wonderful! He was MORE THAN HALF the price of another estimate. He showed up on time and answered me when I texted him. He had to run two new lines with a finished basement and the holes he made were so small I couldn't believe it. He measured and measured again before installing can and pendant lights and they were perfect. I am SO pleased with the results."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.
