"I had such a great experience with the team that rewired my house! They installed new outlets and lights, plus this amazing 12 AWG wire that really helps prevent breakers from tripping. I couldn't recommend them more for anyone needing electrical work!"

"SeaTown installed a standby generator. They provided us with a wide range of options, and were very good about advising us of the ramifications and external costs associated with each. They coordinated permits, locates and utility requirements, making the process easy for us. The installers were courteous, respectful of our property, and did a fine job. We are now using them to install AC."

"All technicians and the business owners are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. All were easy to talk to and helpful when I asked questions about what I should expect as well as what to do if I needed assistance with service and other related things. The company was upfront about costs and what to expect when/if main power goes off and what happens when the generator kicks in/off. I highly recommend First Choice Electrical."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.
