"I call mr. Jacob, about my front yard lamp post. I had an issue with it not coming on at night time, Mr. Jacob gave me an appointment time, he inspected and told me what he could do to repair the light! He ordered the parts and came on back out and put the light back in service for me. This is a very professional business! Thank you lone Star Electric for taking care of my issue!"

"I couldn't be more thrilled with my generator purchase. They walked me through the process and worked with the city and got it installed. The power went out yesterday for several hours and guess what.... I had power. Thank you New Source for your hard work and dedication."

"Very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only repaired my issues but explained how it worked, why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again. They also came free of charge for a follow check up when I thought I was having an issue, but it turns out it was a misunderstanding on my part so the technician taught me once more and things have been perfe t since. I will never use another electrician."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

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.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.
