"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."

"They were able to send someone the next day. It was a small job (replace a light switch and a gfi outlet). Chase was very courteous and professional. He completed the job quickly. I felt the price was competitive. I’ll likely hire them again when I need electrical work."

"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

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup.
