"Went great. Danny responded to my inquiry immediately after I called him. He bought the generators himself and had them delivered. The installation was a hassle-free experience. Danny is very detailed oriented and very quality-minded. Danny also stopped by my house previously to do an ad-hoc check of my electrical wiring because I was having power cycles. I can’t recommend Danny highly enough."

"Contacted Mr. Electric Austin location to install a thermostat and troubleshoot an electrical problem (outside outlet was tripping if used a  GSI outlet in a bathroom). Wait time for an appointment was one week, I left work early to make service window.  A half hour into my call window called Mr. Electric was immediately put on hold for five minutes till someone answered and I asked when the tech was actually going to show up was put on hold again, and when the lady came back on the phone said the tech was still on his last call it was taking longer than expected. The lady asked if she could give me a call back when she had a better idea when he will be out to my area I of course said Yes.
Well, a half hour later the lady called me back and said the tech could make it there in a half hour I said that was fine.  The tech showed up followed by a unknown gentlemen who I assumed was a manager doing a proficiency check on the tech he never introduced himself or even talked to me.  The tech greeted me and asked what I needed done I first showed him the thermostat the main reason for the call and because it was a smart one he could not install it which annoyed me greatly.
Moving onto the next reason for the call he asked what the electrical problem was so he could evaluate it for pricing purposes I explained what was going on with the outside front outlet and the bathroom GSI outlet and he asked for a vacuum to try and trigger the breaker and tested both the bathroom's outlet and the front outlet well he could not replicate the outlet's problem we even got a electrical lawn mower out and tried for more amps-nothing!
In light of all this the tech was extremely professionally even though we could not trigger the outlet tripping he never made me feel I was wasting his time.  I believe the electrical problem might have gotten fixed when they moved (Mr. Electric)  the washer to its own breaker previously  all three outlets might have been on a shared breaker.  I just didn't want to mess with electricity which was way I put the service all in.  Not having the thermostat installed is still an issue but this wasn't the tech's fault nor being late in light of all this I did not get charged for the call.

"The electrician showed up on time. He reviewed all the electrical in the house. He fixes the outlets and switches and installed one light fixture. He also installed a power safety at my main electrical box."

"Quick, convenient quoting process and Mr. Cotton arrived on time for everything. He understood what I wanted to do, and described the solution he would use to complete my project. Great communication on scheduling the install, while having to deal with out-of-stock equipment, and the quote was very fair. No games on pricing, the install was done and billed as quoted. These are great people and a highly recommend using them."

"The service went fine. They were very responsive and easy to schedule. I had them install some lighting and install a new wall outlet from a 2 to 3 prong. One technician came out for the job and completed the service in about 2 hours. He did a superb job and everything works very nicely."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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. 

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.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.
