What a great experience. We could not be happier with the entire experience, from the quote to the final testing. Everyone was very professional and respectful. Sherm did a fantastic job and explained everything during the installation. Waker plumbing did a fantastic job with the gas installation. We couldn't have had a better experience. Tracy in the office was very helpful and responsive to all our needs. 10/10 for sure.

Wells Electric installed a whole house generator 9 months and 2 power outages ago. All went well. Gas and electric power into my house were on the opposite side of where I wanted the generator placed. No problem. They did a thorough installation, cleaned up and explained clearly how it was going to operate. They provided directions in case of emergency shut down, and service access.

Wells Electric Service installed a 26kw Generac whole house standby generator in December 2025. We previously used a 8kw portable generator which hooked to a transfer switch via a 30 amp cable. Due to its capacity it could only run a few critical appliances, which did not include the HVAC system, and the portable generator began to wear out over time. Therefore, due to the frequency of recent outages and the amount of time we travel during the year we decided to install a whole house system to be worry free. Wells Electric removed the old transfer switch and replaced it with two, 200 amp transfer switches since we have 400 amp service. Our breaker boxes were completely rewired and load shed modules were installed on a few high energy items (i.e. range, HVAC, EV charger, etc.) which enabled a smaller generator to be installed thereby saving us money. I cannot say enough about the quality of Wells Electric Service’s (Sherm's) work. He worked through cold and rain, was extremely knowledgeable and customer focused and he even tidied up my breaker boxes going beyond the call of duty. Although we have not yet experienced any power outages since installation, we were able to experience an outage simulation during the county inspection. The generator kicked on in about 20 seconds, after the inspector turned off the power, and the entire house was powered. Can't say enough about Generac whole house generators and using Wells Electric Service to install them.

We had a Generac whole-house generator installed by Wells Electric last year, and it has been one of the best decisions we've ever made for our family's peace of mind. My dad relies on oxygen, and the thought of losing power during a storm or outage used to keep us up at night with worry. Since the generator was installed, that constant anxiety is gone. We now have complete confidence that he'll be protected no matter what happens with the power grid. From the very beginning, the team at Wells Electric was outstanding. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through everything, answering all our questions patiently. The installation was clean, efficient, and done with great care. They treated our property respectfully and left everything looking perfect. Even after the install, their follow-up and support have been excellent. This generator has already proven its worth during outages, kicking on automatically and keeping everything running smoothly—especially the critical equipment my dad needs. The sense of relief we all feel is priceless. If you're considering a generator, especially for medical reasons, I can't recommend Wells Electric highly enough. They're true professionals who deliver real security and outstanding service. Thank you, Wells Electric! Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wells Electric installed a home generator at our new house. Sales, customer service and techs were all excellent. The installation was done perfectly. From the placemet of the generator and transfer switch to the black iron pipe used to supply natural gas, it was all done exactally right. No messes to clean up and all our questions were answered. I have already recommended Wells to several friends. They are the best!

Frequently Asked Questions

What size generator do I need for my home?

Selecting the right size generator for your home or business is crucial to make sure you have sufficient power when needed while avoiding unnecessary costs on a larger unit. To determine the ideal size, start by listing the essential appliances and devices you’ll need during a power outage, such as the refrigerator, lights, and heating or cooling systems. Each of these items consumes a specific amount of power, measured in watts. By adding up the total wattage required for all your essentials, you can determine the minimum power capacity your generator should have. If you need assistance, we can help you accurately size the generator to meet your needs. It’s also a good idea to choose a generator with a bit more capacity than your calculations suggest, to cover any overlooked items or unexpected power demands.

How long does it take to install a backup generator?

The installation process for a backup generator can take several weeks, depending on factors such as generator availability, installer schedules, and the permitting process in your area. On average, it generally takes approximately 6-8 weeks for the entire installation process. However, this is an average time frame and the actual time can vary based on your specific situation.

What is the cost to install a backup generator?

The cost of installing a backup generator can vary greatly depending on the size of the generator and installation considerations specific to your property. At Wells Electric Service, we offer competitive pricing and can put together some options that will best fit your goals and budget.
