"Fenix Electric went beyond expectations to hang a flood light camera, replace an outdoor ceiling fan, clear an issue with a gfci circuit, and install automatic light switches for three outdoor lights. His crew was courteous and professional. The work was done expeditiously. His pricing was very reasonable. I recommend Fenix Electric highly!"

"40 X 32ft shop. 27 conduit drops to include two 220 drops for Welder and Mini Split Technicians were very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. They answered all my questions thoroughly. After the install, they briefed on the electrical panel. Organized to perfection. I would not hesitate to hire this business again. Highly recommended. Thanks again to Mike and Chadwick, you made the experience positive. Brandon"

"The owner, Dave Fisher, recently installed a Home Guardian Backup Generator for my home. He did a great job of helping design a system that meets my needs. The installation works perfectly and looks great. Electrical and Lift Services did an A+ job of resolving all issues associated with the install. I highly recommend this dealer for a professional generator install."

"I never ever, ever write reviews but I certainly shall today. I had Fenix install the necessary wiring for my home to safely and effectively receive the energy transfer from my portable gasoline generator. This is a project far removed from my comfort level and as such has impeded my pulling the trigger on resolving the major inconveniences of multiple power outages in my area. Fenix thoroughly explained all necessary actions prior to conducting same. After discussing and advising me regarding my desired project goals, Fenix accomplished the work in a timely and efficient manner. Fenix even wrote down the sequence of steps for me to follow when I next lose utility power. All this AND their estimate previously provided was what I paid. No surprises! Oh, and did I mention I received 10% off as a new customer? Fenix is without hesitation my contact for any future home electrical projects. My only regret is that I did not call Fenix sooner. Thank you for your time in reading my review. God bless."

They were very friendly and did a good job. Kenneth even called back to check on the installation and to tell us where to find engery saving light bulbs that would fit our new ceiling fan. Great Job!"

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.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

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.

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.
