"From the estimate with Tyler, to install, through follow up support, SeaTown was exceptional. They were not the cheapest, but Tyler took the time to understand our needs and answer all of our questions. Way more knowledgeable and friendly then the other two quotes we got. Tyler made it an easy choice to go with SeaTown."

"Jeremie and his companion did a very professional job, fixing the immediate problem, and giving us a verbal estimate of what he felt needed to be done to upgrade the basement circuits. His written estimate is to follow within a week or two. We were quite satisfied with his work."

"Nick went above and beyond to install my home car charger. He had to get through concrete in my crawlspace and installed the charger on the wall which I did not expect him to complete. The price was reasonable when compared to two other estimates. I would highly recommend First Choice."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

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.
