"Our experience with John, Community Electric could not have been better. The project was to remove the dated recessed flourescent lighting in the master vanity. We wanted a ceiling, down lights and a wall mounted fixture installed. John's pricing was competitive and he and his crew performed each step exactly when promised. Since I needed to paint the new ceiling, John came back promptly to install the wall fixture when I was ready. Not only was the work done perfectly but John and his crew were very pleasant guys to work with. Would definitely use him and recommend him again!"

"George gave great communication. At the end George and Christian upgraded my panel, installed a sub-panel for my generator, installed an EV charger and prepared my house to change my gas water heater to electric hybrid. His price was fair and he did everything to manage my rebate from SMUD my electric utility company. Highly recommend his work."

"Just had them come and install some can lighting in my hall way that I wanted for some time now. They were able to remove my old fixture in the hall and install 4 new LED can lights, even installed the dimmer I wanted with it. Much appreciated!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

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. 

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

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.
