"I would give these guys at least 6+ stars if possible. I connected with Tor Electric through Home Advisor. They installed multiple switches, a Nest outdoor camera, and an outdoor outlet. The last 2 we're at my roofline, requiring Tor to crawl through my attic. Tor & Cam did such a great job! They didn't leave until the camera was adjusted correctly and I was completely satisfied with their full installation. They were very helpful, professional, and unlike most electricians I have dealt with before. I asked them to replace a 3-way switch with one I handed them. As it turns out, the switches did NOT need replacing. Most electricians I've dealt with before, would replace them anyway and come back and say it's done, because that's what I asked for. Cam came back and said replacement was not needed and explained. Saved me $ and time. So, a big THANK YOU!! Absolutely recommend this company. I'm about to have some appliances replaced. They said they can do it. I won't even consider any one else!"

"I recently used Cubix Power for an electrical service project and was extremely impressed with their work. The team was professional from start to finish, arriving on time, explaining everything clearly, and making sure the job was done right. Their knowledge and expertise really stood out, and they were able to quickly diagnose and resolve the issue. On top of that, their pricing was very fair compared to other quotes I received. I highly recommend Cubix Power to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy electrical services"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

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.

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.

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.
