"Unstoppable Electric LLC just installed our Tesla Wall Connector, and wow—what an incredible experience. They were super responsive from the first message, easy to schedule, and showed up right on time. Max is very knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely nice to talk to. He took his time to do everything perfectly—clean, precise, top-quality work with no rush whatsoever. Explained everything clearly, made smart suggestions, and left the garage looking flawless. Pricing was fair and transparent—no surprises. Definitely now my go-to electrician in the area! 10/10 recommend! Thanks again for the stellar work! ⚡️🚗"

"In 2019 I bought an older home and hired ICRA Electric to rewire the entire home including upgrading the electric panel. Aaron Mattingly (owner) was referred to me by someone I trusted. I typically only use contractors by referral. Not only was his bid lower than the other bids I had received, he was very flexible with my schedule and accommodating with changes I made throughout the job without gouging me. Aaron also provided practical electrical suggestions for future needs that I wasn’t even thinking about and ensured everything I wanted was completed according to code. I have never done an online review in the past, but it is rare these days to find a contractor that is more about making sure you will be happy with the final product for years to come than getting as much money out of you as they can. There are many reputable contractors out there. The challenge is navigating through the others who don’t want to be found out. ICRA Electric is one of the good ones."

"We had a complicated wiring issue in our bathroom ceiling light. AB took my call and offered to schedule a service I two days. When I explained there was no light in the room, they agreed right away to come early the next morning. It was not an easy job but after a few hours all was resolved to our utmost satisfaction. They were quick to come, neat and professional in their work. Everything is expensive now but they were worth their price."

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:
Refrigerator: 600 watts
Large dehumidifier: 700 watts
Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts
Water heater: 3,000 watts
Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
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.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
