"We have used and continue to use ThunderBird Power, specifically Thomas Tumlinson for all our electrical needs. To date that includes wiring a 900 square foot shop, updating a 200 amp panel, adding a generator switch to an existing panel and changing out every switch and outlet in an investment property. Thomas and ThunderBird will always be our first call. We recommend Thomas to all our friends."

"AP&L is very professional, knowledgeable, clean, and met the requirements of our build schedule. We built a 3800 sq ft contemporary home with back up generator. Very knowledgeable and assisted with lighting design and low volt controls for window treatments and security. Pricing was competitive and crew was onsite as scheduled with all materials need to complete the project. Highly recommended!"

"I needed cat5 installed into the walls before a painter was scheduled and they were able to schedule me quickly. Kevin was very helpful with a couple issues and even found a safety problem we didn't know we had. He went above and beyond what we hired him for. He and his partner were fast, efficient, helpful and very pleasant to work with. We will hire them again. Great company!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

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. 

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.
