"Workers left holes in eves after installing two exterior outlets for AC units, stepped through and into the ceiling, did not mention anything until I brought it to the supervising installers attention (repaired by Kent, no cost), installers left without confirming nor showing how to enable them outlets installed have no power."

Female/ Vetran owned residential and commercial electrical business. We can do anything from building ADUs, panel upgrades, running new circuits for electric appliances and cars, and troubleshooting/repairing electrical issues.

"April (Spadaro Electric) not only displayed exceptional skills, but she also came to my rescue in a challenging situation. A previous contractor had installed my electric panel box upside down, causing it to short out whenever it rained due to water infiltration. This mistake required everything to be rewired. April efficiently addressed this issue, ensuring that my electrical system was not only fixed but also made safe and reliable. Her dedication, professionalism, and military background made me confident in her abilities, and I’m truly grateful for the excellent work she did. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of electrical services."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

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.

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.
