"Barrett was absolutely fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and professional from start to finish. He took the time to inspect every outlet and switch in our home to make sure everything was safe, which gave us so much peace of mind. What really stood out was how he explained our options. He provided four different estimates for improving our wiring, but never once made us feel pressured or pushed into anything. Instead, he made sure we had all the information we needed to make the best decision for our home."

"3 large dams and 3 small fans were installed in my house, along with outlet switches for each. I was charged $200 for each. They cut a hole in the ceiling where each fan was placed and a hole where the outlet was placed. In two rooms they had to cut several holes to guide the electrical wire to the outlet. They did not patch the holes, which was understandable, they told me before completing the work that they didn?t come prepared for it and they don?t do plaster work, they had to leave and stated they would be back with an outlet cover to complete that work. Two of the outlets still need to be caulked because there are gaps from the cut they made being slightly to big. And the ceiling fan in the loft has a gap. I reached out and sent them pictures of both outlets and the fan requesting they comeback to caulk the outlets and correct the gap and requested additional work to be completed.They added a new outlet to in my living room and it works great.The fan/outlets not yet completed"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.
