"Great job mounting my lights. Helped remove an old solid wood 70’s box light. Had some issues getting the living ceiling fan installed. My previous fan had one switch for the fan and one for the light. I guess the wiring is old and incompatible with this new fancy fan. So now one light switch turns the fan and light on and the other switch that controled the old fan does nothing. Thankfully the fan can with a remote control so I use that to turn the fan on and off and it works just fine as a work around. I am very happy with the service provided and will use them again."

"The estimate/receipt did not have a header name/number or stamp. I had to track them down by payment history and Home Advisor in order to seek future hire. Fully satisfied with the plug replacement and the electrician who did the work. UPDATE 12/28/2020: Generator - Install -Second hire. The first hire was to replace a plug that was smoldering black. It did not trigger the very old breakers. The household breakers were replaced along with the replacement of old smoke detectors. Excellent service. They showed up on time. The electrician originally scheduled called out sick, so another electrician came out to do the work. I had arranged the day off work for this and was thrilled that everything went according to plan and the work was able to be completed. They were extremely polite and friendly, completed the work, and everything seems to be going very well. I highly recommend them!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Lynn was responsive, took the time to explain the issues, and was extremely thorough in her investigation of a problem. She was thoughtful of any mess but did not hesitate to get in the dirt herself as was necessary. Excellent value. I would absolutely recommend her."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

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.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
