"Wallace provided outstanding electrical service from start to finish. He arrived punctually and maintained a professional demeanor throughout the project. His technical expertise was evident as he successfully installed three light fixtures, replaced one outlet, and expertly repaired another outlet. What truly set Wallace apart was his attention to detail and respect for our property. He cleaned up thoroughly as he worked, leaving no mess behind. Additionally, he was very considerate of our schedule, working efficiently without disrupting our day. I highly recommend Wallace for any electrical needs. His combination of technical skill, professionalism, and customer service makes him a standout contractor"

I have used for several projects on older home: install light fixtures, repairing of outside panel, repair electrical glitches and installed EV station. He even responded in pouring rain worked outside to repair an outage during a storm. Juan is the electrician you need if you are seeking excellent honest work."

"Had a great experience with the technician who came to install my EV charger. During the installation, a small part was missing, and he went out of his way to drive to Home Depot to get it—really appreciated that! I also happened to have a security camera I wanted to install in the garage and asked if I could borrow his ladder. Not only did he lend it to me, but he also helped me install the camera, all without charging any extra fees. Excellent service overall—very professional, friendly, and helpful. I’ll definitely reach out again in the future. Highly recommended!"

"Prime Electric Solutions informed me of the Charge-Ready program offered by SCE, which gave me a rebate of $4,200 for upgrading my electrical panel if I installed an electric vehicle charger at the property. They were efficient, communicative, and very friendly. I'm extremely happy with their service and I will use them again if needed in the future."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

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.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
