A man of all trades i can prettt much do anything from repair, assembling, to installing anything. I've always said anything is possible and anything can get done. I specialize more in any electrical work from 120v to low voltage for example internet wifi expanders, cameras, to theater systems. But I can also build or repair pretty much anything.

"We used ADI Electrical ("ADI") five years ago for several relatively insignificant electrical fixes and were pleased with its punctuality, pricing and performance. We called ADI and several other A rated electrical companies from Angie's List in early October for an estimate to update our existing electric service to 200 amp after So Cal Edison indicated we would not have to relocate the panel. Ariel from ADI came to the house the day after my initial call in order to give us the estimate. I was very impressed by the fact that Ariel remembered the prior work that ADI did for us in 2013, and in fact, even remembered the additional things we had discussed wanting to do in the future (e.g., upgrading the panel, among other things). ADI's estimate compared favorably with the other electricians who also estimated the project (it was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive) and Ariel agreed to "throw in" several other small electrical fixes that I also wanted done while his electricians were at the house. When I called Ariel to schedule the work, he was able to schedule it within a few days on the precise date that I requested, October 9. On that date, two electricians from ADI came to the house precisely as scheduled. They completed all the necessary electrical work in approximately 6 hours with a minimal interruption in electrical service, and they cleaned up completely before leaving (which was important as the stucco had to be broken out from the box to the roof and there was quite a mess). The electricians were skillful, professional and courteous. Re-stuccoing was part of the estimate as I had no interest in finding a stucco person to repair the stucco after the panel installation, and I wanted that aspect of the job to be priced, scheduled and handled by ADI as part of its overall estimate. (Several other electrical companies would not include the stuccoing in their estimate and essentially wanted me to find the stucco contractor.) The stucco subcontractor came out the next day and started the process that took several days to complete due to the nature of re-stuccoing. At the conclusion of each day, the stucco guy cleaned up completely before leaving. Each step along the process was inspected by the city inspector and passed. The inspector complimented the work that was done by the electricians and the stucco guy. Ariel pulled the permit for the work originally and handled all the scheduling of the inspections that had to be done. Essentially, ADI made the process about as painless as possible. The panel has performed perfectly since installation. Having used ADI on multiple occasions now for everything from small jobs to larger ones, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone needing electrical work for their home, and I am pleased to provide this review."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.
