"Legendary did a great job installing a Tesla home storage battery. The workmanship on the installation was excellent and they left the work area as they found it. On installation day there was a problem with the new battery which had an unusual glitch (it didn’t work). Not their fault. They contacted Tesla right away and Tesla sent a new battery (which worked) in a couple of weeks. Legendary came back to install the new battery right away. They spent sufficient time to explain the app and how to adjust settings within the app. I purchased the battery primarily to connect to my existing solar for emergency use in case of power outages. Would highly recommend them and will call them in the future for repair and maintenance issues also."

"Anthony s team did a big kitchen remodel for us, that included taking down a wall, installing a slider, patio cement, refurbishing cabinets, new countertops, floors, etc. He was wonderful to work with, always extremely responsive, professional, and flexible. There were a few hiccups, as is often the case, and he dealt with them very well. I truly felt like he had our best interests in mind through it all, and that s really all I could ask for. We are so very excited to have a brand new kitchen that we love so much!"

"A technician arrived at the appointed time and easily diagnosed the problem. I had purchased the unit and had it installed 6 years prior by another company but I couldn't recall if it was still under warranty. The tech did some research and found out it was under warranty and rather than charging me for more than $49 service call, suggested I call the original installing company, since that might save me money with labor, stating he would gladly do the repair if that was my preference. I did decide to call the installer, and that was the right decision since it was a problem with a part they had already replaced for me, they had had the same problem with other units from the manufacturer. I am confident my house will be cool this summer, that's all that counts, right? Even though Huft didn't do my repair, they showed professionalism with helping me come up with the right solution and help me safe money in the process."

"Freedom Electric did a fantastic job on installing a new 20A circuit for my gaming rig. Kevin checked all the boxes - professional, well spoken, patient in explaining the work to me and general concepts when I dug deeper, and fantastic job doing final cleanup. He often offered to vacuum up debris left behind. Kevin is my new go-to electrician for all electrical work in my home. And to top it all - the icing on the cake was his price. He came in the lowest of all the quotes I had requested, and he backed up his low price with the explanation on him doing less work than the others - not to cut corners - but to avoid inflating project cost unnecessarily. I would hire Kevin in a heartbeat again and cannot recommend him enough."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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.

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.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

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.
