"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

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

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. 

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

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.

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.
