"Target Electric Enterprises Inc replaced and upgraded my 50 year old main electric panel and I’m so glad I selected them for the job! Sean was responsive from day 1 and kept me fully informed throughout the process. My job required installing a new underground cable also, which involved several interactions with SDGE and City of San Diego, and Sean and Steve very capably handled every step with skill and efficiency. In the field, Steve has extensive expertise and obviously takes great pride in getting the job done right. Their pricing was also very reasonable, and I totally recommend them for any electric job, small or large!"

"Marvin provided a detailed estimate that my condo homeowners association board could easily approve. He was extra thorough and flexible in making the electrical changes in my laundry room needed for my new washer and dryer. He ensured that everything was completed to my satisfaction and followed up afterwards too! I would definitely hire Marvin again for additional work in my home."

Customers say: True professional

"I contacted Fregoso Electric Service through Homeadvisor for a ceiling fan installation. Their quote was a good price. They arrived on time and installed the ceiling fan and I also had them replace two outlets in the dinning room. Great service. Great price. I highly recommend. I will use them again."

"I had Mister Sparky come out to install a ceiling fan at my house and the experience was great from start to finish. The technician was professional, showed up on time, and got everything installed quickly and cleanly. You can tell they take pride in their work and pay attention to the details. If you’re looking for a reliable electrical company that does quality work, I’d definitely recommend Mister Sparky."

"Keith Walter the owner, was very professional and easy to work with. We worked out a proposal that was within my budget without sacrificing the scope of work necessary to get my home completely rewired. His workers were conscientious, hardworking and rewired my old 1942 home with minimal cutting into my plaster walls. I plan to do some additional wiring and lighting for my yard and backyard deck and I will most definitely go with Walter Electric."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

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.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

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.
