"My contractor from Miller Electric was Taylor. I highly recommend him for electrical needs (removed old fixtures; rewired, installed canned lighting and dimmer switches). He was punctual, experienced; answered all of my questions cheerfully; provided fast, friendly, efficient service; cleaned the work at the end of each work day-an absolute joy to work with! The experience exceeded my expectations. I will definitely hire Miller for any future electrical needs."

"Skipper & Sons installed a entryway chandelier in high ceiling 18' tall. They installed a new light and switch in an unfinished closet, and 3 new canned lights and new switch in my master bedroom. They also fixed the wiring in an existing switch in the downstairs hallway. They did professional electrical work."

"Outstanding service from start to finish! I couldn’t be happier with the job this company did installing our TV mount above the fireplace. From the moment they arrived, everything was handled with professionalism, precision, and care. The installation was fast, incredibly clean, and extremely efficient, no mess left behind and every detail thoughtfully executed. They clearly know what they’re doing and took the time to make sure the TV was perfectly centered, secure, and positioned for the best viewing experience. The final result looks sleek, polished, and exactly what I had envisioned. If you’re looking for a team that delivers top-tier workmanship, respects your home, and exceeds expectations, look no further. Highly recommend and would absolutely use them again!"

"I recently had a generator installed by Emerge Electrical, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received from start to finish. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. The technicians arrived promptly and took the time to explain the entire process to me, answering all my questions about generator size, maintenance, and functionality. They worked efficiently and carefully, ensuring that the installation was seamless and met all safety standards. The team also took great care to keep my home clean, laying down protective covers and cleaning up after themselves. What really stood out to me was their attention to detail. They made sure the generator was properly tested and walked me through how to operate it, providing useful tips for maintenance and troubleshooting. The generator itself has been running smoothly ever since, giving me peace of mind during power outages. I highly recommend Emerge Electrical for anyone in need of electrical services or generator installation. Their professionalism, expertise, and exceptional customer service set them apart from others in the industry. They’ve earned my trust, and I won’t hesitate to call them for any future electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

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.

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

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
