"Sergio and his assistant installed an EV charger at my place, and they did an amazing job. I’m so glad I hired them. Their price was reasonable compared to other contractors. I highly recommend them and would definitely use their company again for any future jobs."

Customers say: True professional

"Called to say they were running late due to car show in downtown Riverside.. great communication. Two brothers worked together well and got a dead circuit figured out quickly then installed new ceiling light fixtures and cleaned up wiring in the hot and confined attic in my house. Seemed a bit expensive but this was a crew of two that showed up ready to work and spent about 5 hours at my house so it works out to $100 an hour each for professional electricians which is very reasonable IMHO."

"If anyone has ever had a electrical panel installed, they know it’s a long process. You are dealing with the City, Electricity Company and inspector, it is very time consuming and if you don’t know what you are doing, it becomes very frustrating. Christopher was so helpful. He was there when I had questions and explained how to get permits, who to call and when to call then. He was very professional when he installed the panels and made sure everything was done properly. He price was very reasonable and we did not feel we were being taken advantage of. I highly recommend Christopher’s Company."

"Loved working with JDC. They are attentive to detail, and they make sure the work is done in an efficient and effective manner. We got solar panels installed, and also a battery back up system. Great work from David who has been helping us, going beyond the basic call of duty. And from Anna in their billing department, who is very friendly and courteous to speak with."

"Our electrician performed an excellent job!! He installed nine recessed lighting fixtures in our living room, hallway, and laundry area. He took his time to ensure that everything was flawless because our house is two stories. He was also very communicative.We are very happy with the work he completed!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

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.

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. 

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.
