"I am very happy with the service we received from Mr. Electric. We replaced all of our old smoke detectors, installed a new ceiling fan, repaired a bad breaker and got an overdue tune-up on our breaker panel. They are easy to schedule an appointment with and they arrived on time! They are very professional. We will definitely use them again."

"We've used Scott for several projects over the years, and he's been fantastic every time. He was willing to take on some smaller jobs that many electricians wouldn't bother with, including replacing a floodlight that had been broken for years, installing a new Ring floodlight camera, and fixing an under-cabinet kitchen light. He responded quickly, showed up when he said he would, and got everything working perfectly. He also helped us with a much more complicated project when our new wine refrigerator wouldn't fit because an electrical box had been installed too far forward. It was right before Thanksgiving, and we were worried we'd be stuck without a solution. He was able to reroute wiring through the basement, relocate the box, and get everything finished quickly so we could install the fridge in time for the holiday. He's knowledgeable, reliable, reasonably priced, and does excellent work. It's hard to find contractors who communicate well, respond promptly, and genuinely care ab"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
