"Sergio and his assistant installed an EV charger at my place, and they did an amazing job. I’m so glad I hired them. Their price was reasonable compared to other contractors. I highly recommend them and would definitely use their company again for any future jobs."

"Highly recommend this electrician! He installed my chandelier at a very fair price and went above and beyond by coming up with a smarter wiring solution that avoided cutting into the drywall. That saved me a lot of extra repair and restoration work. Professional, thoughtful, and efficient—exactly the kind of service you hope for."

"Carlos immediately responded to a Home Advisor inquiry to install the wiring in a new garage. We liked his work so much that we employed him to check the circuits after a leak in our rental house and to remedy a poor wiring installation at our primary residence. He returned my initial and subsequent calls immediately, was on time for all appointments and installations, completed the work within the estimated time and charged a fair price, everything one could ask for in a construction professional. We will be calling him for any and all projects in the future and will be recommending him to all our friends."

"If anyone has ever had a electrical panel installed, they know it’s a long process. You are dealing with the City, Electricity Company and inspector, it is very time consuming and if you don’t know what you are doing, it becomes very frustrating. Christopher was so helpful. He was there when I had questions and explained how to get permits, who to call and when to call then. He was very professional when he installed the panels and made sure everything was done properly. He price was very reasonable and we did not feel we were being taken advantage of. I highly recommend Christopher’s Company."

"I had a whole house fan installed. Paul was extremely helpful over the phone and gave valuable information. The install was a bit tricky but Robert and Paul did an outstanding job of trouble shooting and keeping the install at the price quoted. Both were exceptionally knowledgeable about the install and were very helpful in answering all the questions that were asked. I would hire them again in a minute."

"Our electrician performed an excellent job!! He installed nine recessed lighting fixtures in our living room, hallway, and laundry area. He took his time to ensure that everything was flawless because our house is two stories. He was also very communicative.We are very happy with the work he completed!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

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.

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.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.
