"We used Gridwise for a lighting install and I’m picky about finish details. Miguel did a nice job and the fixtures are straight, plates look clean, and nothing feels “patched.” They also helped us sort out switch groupings so it works in real life (not just on paper). They showed up when they said they would, and the place wasn’t left dusty afterward."

"I had 2 ceiling fan/lights installed in the bedrooms. Installation included 2 new circular circuit boxes in each bedroom ceiling. In addition, I replaced the kitchen ceiling light with an LED fixture. The 2 workers were very polite and professional and worked quickly and efficiently, in addition to being respectful of my personal belongings."

"We needed to install an EV charger receptacle quite far from the electrical panel. Chris suggested leading individual wires through a conduit instead of simply using Romex, saying that heat characteristics are better. He also wanted to know what EV charger we were getting and asked for documentation. We also discussed other aspects of the work. His genuine interest and attention to detail made us choose him. At the end, we were impressed with the quality of the work he delivered and how easy it was to communicate with him. He charged about the average price for this work but delivered more than many other electricians would do."

"Edgar is very detailed, respectful, professional with very good customer service! He showed up on time and completed the electric panel change sooner than expected! I have already referred him to my cross the street neighbor, Diane. Hopefully she will reach out soon for an estimate to change out her electrical panel too. Thank you ð ð"

"Steve and his team have done a number of jobs for me from installing light fixtures to adding additional outlets in the bathroom which required going underneath the house. They are professional, timely, courteous, clean, reliable and reasonably priced!"

"The installers were very sweet and professional. But I donâ t think I was made completely aware of how the exterior installation would look. The last 4 or 5 feet of the white pipeline are not covered and it looks unfinished and messy."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

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.

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.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.
