Wisler Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electric proudly serves Roanoke and surrounding area, all of Franklin County, and everyone located around Smith Mountain Lake. When our dad Daniel Wisler put our name on his business back in 1986, he committed to doing what was fair and right. He led by example and he taught us to do the same. He taught us to stand up, work hard through adversity; to take responsibility for our mistakes. It’s not easy, but it’s the difference between a business that survives and a business that thrives. Wisler’s foundation of beliefs lights our way, from policies we live by to the people we hire.
"Marlin did an outstanding job! Was very thorough and professional. Went above and beyond to troubleshoot the issue(s). Also at the same time, was very casual, down to earth and extremely easy to talk to, while still being professional to the highest standard. I would highly recommend, Marlin personally, and Wisler for their superb service and professionalism. I also would recommend to Marlin’s manager/supervisor to reward Marlin for his outstanding service and performance! We will be referring back to him and Wisler in the future for all of our household service needs. Thank you Marlin and Wisler for a great and helpful service!"

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
