"I cannot say enough good things about the electrical work done by Cole Electric. I purchased a stackable washer/dryer but forgot to check that I had an outlet for the dryer close enough to where I wanted to place the units. This became critical because the installers were coming on Monday and this was the Friday before. Cole Electric was rated high on Angie's List so I called and Scott Cole answered. He had one of his electricians come out that same day to assess the job and give me an estimate. They said that they could get started at 0800 the next morning and arrived promptly at 0800 on Saturday morning. Since it was for a dryer, I needed to have a dedicated circuit added to my circuit box and new conduit and lines run. The entire job only took a short time including clean up (yes they cleaned up) and I was ready for the installers to hook up my units on Monday. They charged exactly what they estimated. I intend to use them again for some other electrical needs in my house. I have recommended them to many of my neighbors and friends. I wholeheartedly give them an "A" rating for the work they did for me."

"The experience went very well! Upon installation of the new EV Charger install, David discovered that our control panel/ fuse box was having serious technical issues that we wouldn’t have discovered for sometime on our own. The whole control panel had to be changed out for a new one due to age of being over 40 something years old. The electrician/ owner went out his way to make sure we had our correct permits and rearranged his schedule the following day to fix the immediate issue. He was very professional and made sure everything exceeded inspection and safe equipment. David is very knowledgeable and we feel very comfortable with future projects and installations made by him! We are grateful to Good Shepherd for reaching out to us so quickly and Angi for this wonderful recommendation ."

William was present for the entire installation. We chose the copper system. We are glad for the peace of mind a lightning rod system will provide."

FAQs for generator install projects in Suffolk, VA

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:

  • Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000

  • Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300

  • Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

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.

The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:

  • Experience frequent or prolonged power outages

  • Work from home

  • Store a lot of cold food

  • Have a sump pump

  • Have a pump for well water

  • Use electronic medical devices

  • Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
