"Had a great experience with the technician who came to install my EV charger. During the installation, a small part was missing, and he went out of his way to drive to Home Depot to get it—really appreciated that! I also happened to have a security camera I wanted to install in the garage and asked if I could borrow his ladder. Not only did he lend it to me, but he also helped me install the camera, all without charging any extra fees. Excellent service overall—very professional, friendly, and helpful. I’ll definitely reach out again in the future. Highly recommended!"

"Fantastic outcome! I was initially convinced replacing my circuit breaker panel would solve my many house electrical problems. Owner Bill convinced me the intelligent/logical approach would be to trouble shoot everything before committing to same. Their staff identified several problems and professionally fixed everything at a very reasonable price. I expect to eventually upgrade the circuit breaker panel but will cross that bridge when necessary. In the meantime, very happy with how fine everything is working now. Wonderful Experience!!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

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.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.
