We had a Generac whole house generator installed by Ideal Electric. Prior to installation, we had questions and communicated via email. Jeremy (the owner) responded quickly and answered all our questions. He and his crew came on the day they said they would. The installation process took a day which is what he had said. They cleaned up everything and even vacuumed in our basement. I would highly recommend Ideal Electric for any of electric needs.

What Size Generator Should You Install?
Generator sizing comes down to how much of your home you want to keep running during a power outage. Many homeowners focus on key systems such as refrigeration, heating and cooling, well pumps, lighting and medical equipment.
Whole-home generators can support nearly all circuits, while smaller units cover essential loads. In some cases, a 20kW generator may handle moderate household demand, though exact sizing depends on your energy usage. Our team evaluates your needs and recommends a system to fit your needs without overspending.

Arrived on time. Took 6 hours in extreme heat and one short deluge, but all is good. I like that they elevated the generator off the ground. Highly recommended.
