"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."

"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."

"Technicians Ethan Atkinson and Derek Norman arrived on time and communicated several times about their location to keep me informed before their arrival. They went to work right away in a very professional and personable way to remove the old mini-split and install a new one. They were very responsive to my questions and their explanation was thorough. They double checked that everything worked and that they cleaned up afterward. I was very pleased with their attitudes and their work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

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

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
