"I cannot say enough great things about Jamie and the team at Wisconsin Generators LLC. From the very first conversation, Jamie was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He took the time to walk me through all my options, answered every question thoroughly, and made sure I felt confident in the decision we were making. The installation process was seamless. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and treated our property with respect. Their attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right was obvious from start to finish. Everything was clean, organized, and completed exactly as promised. What really sets Jamie apart is his integrity and customer-first approach. There was no pressure just honest recommendations and clear communication. If you’re considering a standby generator, I highly recommend Jamie and Wisconsin Generators LLC. Reliable service, expert installation, and true peace of mind. Five stars all The way!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

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.
