"Regarding the service, responsiveness, and professionalism, I have nothing but good things to say. But all I needed was a light fixture installed and because the wiring in my place is a bit peculiar, I wanted to make sure everything was set up correctly. It was, and the electrician finished installing the fixture to the tune of a couple hundred dollars...which was quite a bit for about 10min of work. In hindsight, this was more of a job for a handyman. Alas, beyond the price, I have nothing but good things to say."

"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 questions, answered by experts

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
