"What a great experience! From introductory call through bidding process to delivering all that was promised, Zach was fantastic. Main job was replacing panel but we discussed numerous scenarios for add in’s that include outside hookup for portable generator, power to a shed in back, future EV charging station etc. Zach was very knowledgeable in all areas. Quotes for all options were broken down in modules that made it very clear and easy to see actual cost of each segment of potential job. This made it a breeze to finalize job quote. Communication throughout process was fantastic and pricing fair. I highly recommend Zach and Tech Connect. They will be my go to electricians in the future."

"Follow up service call for a water softener system we had installed 2 weeks ago by Wisler. Ashley did not do the install. She came today to correct an issue found as part of the install. She did a great job. Her knowledge and professionalism were excellent. We appreciate the work she did. My rating on price was not Ashley's fault. It was related to the service contract recently presented to me for Wisler to maintain the system. Apparently the manufacturer has issues with their software which is reflected in price in our contract. It is quite expensive!"

"I would like to recommend Joshua Smith as a Tesla installer and overall electrician. He did a great job for my wife and I on the installation of our powerwall 3 and car chargers within our garages as well as trouble shooting some other electrical problems at our new home at Smith Mountain Lake. Additionally, he answers phone calls and shows up on time. Again, we highly recommend Joshua."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

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.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
