"The service was outstanding. Our electrical outages were addressed efficiently and quickly. The overhead fan installation was excellent. It was placed properly with a minimum of drywall repair needed. It works very well. I appreciated the professional manner in which the work was completed. I definitely would hire them again and recommend their services!"

"Mattiace Electric is awesome! Billy got the job done in a quick, efficient and kind manner. I couldn't have asked for anything more. He installed 2 light fixtures and had to install ceiling boxes to connect the electrical. He even came back the next day to tweak the fixtures a little bit (I wanted one a little higher but said it was fine) and patched up the dry wall well. He was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. He went above and beyond - and for SUCH a good price. Would definitely hire him again!"

"Albrik Electric Co was contracted out as a 3rd party to complete an installation for a business client. The former electrical contractor was let go and Albrik Electric Co stepped in to resume the work. Between the ease of communication, the quality of work, flexibility of work time, and fair pricing, I highly recommend using Albrik Electric Co. We will consider using this company again for future projects."

"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!"

"I am a tenant in Anaheim Hills. The power to two of our bedrooms went out on Easter Sunday. RBC came out on Monday, determined what needed to be done, and by Wednesday the issue was resolved. Their interaction, communication and work was very professional. I’d definitely hire them for more work."

"Steve is awesome. I called for a quote and he saved me money by talking me through a diagnosis. He spent a lot of time to help me figure it out and didn't charge me a dime. I was able to fix it myself with his help. He already gave me a very reasonable quote. It's a company that can be trusted. I will definitely call for all my electrical needs for properties I manage. If you need any electrical work done, I wouldn't hesitate to give Steve at Wilson Electric a call. Thank you for the help!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
