Jeremy and his team came out and installed the generator in less than one day. It works great. They did professional work and left our place clean. They did accidentally take one of the pieces of sound/heat insulating foam that had fallen off with them when they cleaned up , but mailed it to me so I could easily stick it back on myself. Great overall experience, highly recommended. ??

What Size Generator Does Your Brookfield Home Need?
The best generator size depends on your home’s electrical load and which systems you want available during an outage.

Others prefer a larger system capable of supporting most or all household circuits.
Ideal Electric evaluates square footage, appliance usage, heating and cooling demand and other electrical loads before recommending a generator size. Proper sizing gives you enough capacity for your backup priorities without paying for significantly more generator capacity than your home requires.
