"The people at Morgantown Electrical Contracting were great and completed a somewhat complicated job in about a day. Mr. Snider was friendly and knowledgeable about what had to be done, which included a new electric meter, new breaker box, and a plane for a new generator. All three employees, including Mr. Snider, worked very efficiently and answered question about the work as each task was done. There have been no problems with the electrical system since the work was completed. I have other jobs that need to be done and I will contact Mr. Snider about them."

"I had used Worry Free Electric in the past and had very good service. I called James Costello again for some outlet relocations, new outlets, and new light fixtures installation/replacement. I was supplying these new light fixtures. I told James what I wanted to achieve, and where I wanted the new outlets and ceiling lighting fixtures located. He made some recommendations and suggestions, did exactly what I wanted and beyond with the addition of some three way switches for the lighting circuits. The whole experience was above my expectations. James Costello will be my first call for any future licensed Electrician project!"

"John was always professional and quick to respond and answer my questions. For personal reasons, before hiring Barclay Construction, I had to wait a long time to be able to replace my old siding. John and his crew made it worth the wait. All were pleasant and made me feel they were anxious to please me and take pride in their work. In addition to the siding replacement, they painted the trim and doors and installed my window boxes. I am so happy and appreciative of the great work that they did. I can give them my wholehearted recommendation."

And will continue to gladly call him when needed."

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.

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.

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.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

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.
