"Electrician had professional appearance and work ethic. Job was not easy due to the new RG6 cable was required to be installed in the flat roof area of the home which is a very confined space to maneuver. Arrived on time as promised, but unfortunately the cable used was not adequate to transmit the new Spectrum digital signal and the following day I had to have the newly installed cable (which was a copper cladded RG6 cable) replaced by a steel cladded RG6 cable in order to receive the Spectrum signal. I attempted to alert the electrician that due to the recent change of Spectrum from an analog signal to a digital signal on April 17th 2018 that he needed to use a higher quality RG6 cable or he would continue to have unsatisfied customers. Electrician has failed to return my call which is unfortunate for him as I think his work was excellent, but his future cable installation jobs may be rated less than excellent if the quality of cable used is not resolved."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
