"Charlottesville Generator is top notch when it comes to customer service and problem solving! From the online estimate until the final test, the team at Charlottesville Generator impressed me and I am proud to call them my preferred dealer. Marc went above and beyond many times to help solve issues with my HOA, WiFi Connection, and escalating the delays with the propane company even though it was out of his control. My whole house Generac unit was installed on the day promised despite potential winter weather delays, they got the job done well. Marc's father Eric is a great owner. He talks to you like you're one of the family and I couldn't be happier with my selection. Everyone one I worked with was professional, empathic to my unique needs and was always super kind. If you still are not sure, go ahead and call them for an estimate, I am pretty certain when you get an idea of their quality customer service, you will no doubt select them for your generator needs."

This wasn’t the easiest project out there on sure but with Jake’s expertise he was able to make short work of the project. We have a new service panel do you provide us years ofTrouble free electrical service, and a new generator but when the power goes out! We couldn’t be happier! Thanks again Jake!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.
