"This is not hyperbole. This company exceeded my expectations more than any I have ever worked with. The speed, efficiency, quality of work, professionalism, and value all 10/10. I have dealt with these issues a while and went through other electricians in an effort to diagnose the issue and get it fixed. The ease that Todd from Waibel diagnosed the problems proves the difference when getting real pros. Ease your mind and wallet and call Waibel it will be the best choice you can make. I can not ensure it will be as cheap as what mine cost but I can assure you they will not take advantage of you and will give you the absolute best service and price available. They literally saved me thousands from what others were trying to get me to spend that I did not need to."

From a young age I always loved Electric. My father was my idol and owned his own Electric business. I rode around with him in the truck doing service calls and installations until I turned of age to officially work for the company. At 16 I started doing prefabrication for all the large projects. Once I turned 18 I was an official apprentice. Putting in numerous hours I became a foreman and was offered a position in Colorado building multi Million dollar houses. I came back to Ohio and opened my own company. With over 15 years of experience, not only do I provide Top Notch work, but I provide a professional long lasting relationship for years to come.

"Shane and his team did a great job! Job was quoted fairly and competitively, and the team that did the work was prompt, kind and careful, and completed everything satisfactorily. They will be back this year!"

Mosby Electric is a full service electrical company that meets all of your residential electrical needs. In addition, no job is too small. We "get you wired right."

"I had several companies come out to look at my whole house fan that has stopped working. They either refused to touch it or gave an estimate that was prohibitively expensive. Mosby not only found the motor and replaced it at a reasonable price (which included some machining), but also secured the boards around the attic access and reported an issue with a roof rafter. Very timely, professional, thorough, and reasonable. Would definitely hire again."

Generator installations FAQs

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 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.

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
