"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

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.
