"Exceptionally satisfied. Our electrician, Ryan, is exceptional. He explained every detail and when faced with complex decisions his advice was top notch. One of the best we have ever worked with. The service was prompt, accurate, and in the end greatly added to the safety of our property. We feel we received a greater value for our money than we initially expected. Ryan always went out of his way to insure we were satisfied with the work he, and his assistants were performing. At every turn we found that he is a problem solver who gave us the pro's and con's on issues and viable alternatives. We will certainly use this service again."

Small jobs welcome

"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"

"I called APS about getting a standby generator for my home, and the whole experience was great from the start. They took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense and walked me through what to expect instead of just trying to sell me something. What really stood out to me was how thorough they were. They noticed my gas meter was undersized for what I already had and helped get that addressed with the utility company before it became a bigger issue. That?s the kind of thing most people probably wouldn?t even know to ask about. Their pricing was competitive, communication was easy, and everyone I dealt with was professional and knowledgeable. The 10-year warranty being included was a nice bonus too. Overall, I felt like they genuinely cared about doing the job right. I?d absolutely use APS again and would recommend them to anyone looking for electrical work or a home generator."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

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 standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.
