"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.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

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.

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.
