"Total Electric is the definition of dependable. Rather I need switches replaced, a whole house wired, or anything in between, they are prompt and professional. I’ve built new construction, and have remodeled older homes, both of which Total Electric shows up on time and knocks out the job within my budget. I can not recommend this company enough! Simple. Fast. Efficient. Everytime."

"With more than 25 years of living in Fort Smith and having a variety of electrical issues to address on 10 properties during that time, I can positively say that Quentin and Good Boy Electric are my absolute 1ST CHOICE to call when I need ANY electrical work done! Every time I have used Good Boy Electric has been such a pleasant experience. They are prompt, respectful, honest and fair in their pricing, very competent and the group as a whole has a great work ethic. My last job Quentin did was literally a big mess to fix, due to previous electrical contractors poor workmanship but Quentin and his team at Good Boy came in and quickly put everything in good order. I can't thank Good Boy Electric enough for their top notch service! They are the BEST!"

"Highlights: Provided quote up front Provided a time line for completion Supplied the materials and labor Tweaked projects as my interested changed Highly reputable - did what they promised to do Trustworthy - earned my trust early and never caused me to doubt them; didn't even have to be home while they worked Clean freaks - they laid drop cloths along their walking paths and draped off rooms that are to be kept from construction dust. Turnkey jobs including electricians, plumbers, drywallers, floor layers Didn't expect payment until the job was complete In short, we contacted ACDC for a remodel quote for our kitchen and laundry room. This was a full gut job taken to the studs and slab. We have a chef's kitchen now with potfiller at the stove, counter depth frig, travertine floors and more. Once the ACDC team got started and helped me brainstorm ideas, my project grew to include a new living room mantel. We then added the 2 bathrooms to the list. This was our first project. It went well. As road bumps came up, they helped me navigate the choices. Our second project was a concrete pad and with a gas-powered generator. They demo'd the area, poured a new pad and installed the generator. Our third project was to repair termite damage to a wall in a bedroom. After Orkin treated and cleared it for rebuild, ACDC's crew removed all damaged areas, reconstructed the walls, textured the walls and painted. It's better than new! Our fourth project just finished. We replaced a sewer line under our home. Once the line was replaced and the new slab poured, we installed new flooring in the the room and adjacent hallways. The ACDC crew did a wonderful job laying travertine to match the pattern we used during the kitchen reno. For good measure, we added new baseboards. Without a doubt, my next remodel project will go to ACDC."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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.

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.
