"Sergio did a fantastic job! Very happy with the clean install of my tier 2 charger and he added a plug down below my panel. Would recommend for any sort of EV charging installs! Clear communicator, showed up when he said he would and his services were well-priced!"

"B&C Electric did a great job. Robert Burns came to my house after another electrician from another company installed a Tesla charger. For the next 4 weeks we had trouble with different areas of our house losing power. I called this initial electrician back to fix the problem. He came and did some work but the power outages continued. That's when I said enough is enough and called Robert at B&C electric. He came and did a thorough evaluation of my sub panel. He found that the breaker switch installed by the other company was not only cheap but not wired correctly. Robert installed a new breaker switch and I have not had any trouble since. Robert explained everything to me and showed me what he was doing. The best electrician I have used, hands down. I will use him again!"

"Matt came to our house to give an estimate of running a new electric line from the meter to an internal location. He provided an estimate in a timely manner via email and also offered a first-timer Angie's List discount. It also made it more convenient that he was willing to come out on a Sunday since we both have busy work schedules during the week.
On the day of service, he came out promptly and finished the work within the time window promised. (Before he got started, I changed the location of the electrical box, and he accommodated without complaint or excuses.) Every question I asked indicated that he had done the job to code. Before leaving, I mentioned that we were considering upgrading our electrical panel, and he also gave us some advice about timing with SDG&E and the city (how long things take). 
Matt is a professional. I like to try out a contractor with a small job rather than risking a big job on someone I don't know. I appreciate how prompt and excellent he was, treating a very small job as if it were important. As I called around to get multiple quotes, I definitely felt like some professional electricians thought my job was too small to respond quickly, and other small-time electricians who did respond quickly made me doubt whether they would do things to code/by the book. I'm glad I found Matt, and I would hire him again and recommend him to others.

"I have called Losacco, for two jobs now. The first, back in July, Marc installed a new 50A 240V service to the electric stove replacing my old propane cooktop. That job went great: 1 day, in and out. Very cool! The second time: today, we called him because most of the lights in the house were flickering and sometimes shutting off. He diagnosed the issue as the A phase in my breaker box was dropping out. He called SDG&E and told them to check the line. Turns out, the transformer on the pole nearest me was outputting a fluctuating voltage. SDG&E swapped the transformer, and I don't have to replace anything. Total Win! I highly recommend Marc Losacco and Losacco Electric! Be sure to compliment him on his work van. He's quite proud of it."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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.

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.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.
