"I hired M B Electric to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage for my EV charger and had a great experience. Two technicians came to my home, arrived on time, and handled the job thoroughly and professionally. They inspected the setup carefully and explained everything clearly before starting the work. Since my garage had aluminum wiring, they chose the safer approach of running a separate copper wire to ensure a proper and reliable installation. The work was clean, the outlet was mounted securely, and everything was tested before they finished. They also answered my questions and made sure the charger was working properly. I appreciate their professionalism and quality workmanship. I highly recommend M B Electric for EV charger or outlet installations. Thank you for the excellent service!"

"Hector came by and gave me a quote. Explained what I needed done to setup my level 2 EV Charger from Electrify America. They came out, showed up early. Got everything done on a timely manner, Even hardwired the station, instead of installing an outlet. Hook up my Car before they left and everything is charging and working great. Great business, Great employees."

"I had recessed lighting installed with dimmer switches in the bathroom, hallway, bedroom, living room and an outdoor outlet. Very fast and efficient. From start to finish, a little over 3 hrs. A friend of mine recommended me to WCD, and I’m glad he did. WCD HQ is a 5hrs drive from me, but that’s why they’re called We Can Do Ekectrical. More electrical work I need to do real soon."

"I have been wanting to hang flat screen televisions in my son's room and in my master bedroom for years. I finally decided to pull the trigger, but first, I needed new power outlets installed where the television would be mounted. Sergio was the first pro to reach out to me. Sergio scheduled an in home quote with me right away and arrived at the time he said he'd be here. He was very friendly and explained the entire scope of work to me and my wife. We scheduled an install date for two days later. On the day of installation, Sergio again showed up on time. Sergio originally told me that the project would take him approximately 2-3 hours to complete. He completed the project in 1 hour. The quality of his work was absolutely perfect. He even went above and beyond and marked exactly where the studs were behind the wall for me. I highly recommend Sercerval Electric LLC. A+++++ company!!!!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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. 

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.
