"I hired Robert in May 2018 to correct the scary DIY exterior electrical that was at my daughter's new home. His quote wasn't exactly cheap, but then again, I really didn't have a clear idea of what all needed to be corrected to bring it up to code. So, for the money I was really impressed. He had to add some new switches to the electrical box to untangle some dual lights, put in all the electrical wiring for the exterior light on the house and 2 places on the garage, as well as a gazebo; he trenched all the wiring conduit at the appropriate depth, boxed the connections safely, installed all new motion sensor lights, brought the dedicated gas line up to code and WOW! When I realized all that he had to do to bring everything up to code and seeing how well it all worked - he earned every cent. I really like know my daughter's house is safe and has well-working motion sensor lights. After, when we noticed the exterior switch cover was missing for the outdoor fans, Robert came all the way back over and replaced it the next day. Later, when *my* house started having power failures in the middle of the night, and kept cutting off, and I was charged $50 by the City of Houston to learn the fault was on my side, I called Robert. He came the next day and he figured out that one of my breakers was getting too warm carrying too much load. So he switched out my breaker in my house to a larger one and also at the breaker box in the townhouse complex where I live. Again, I have complete faith in his competence, honesty, workmanship and haven't had a speck of trouble since! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.

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.
