"I recently had the pleasure of working with Brian from Hamilton Electric for a hot tub installation, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, Brian demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. The entire installation was handled seamlessly, with meticulous planning and execution to ensure everything was up to code and functioning perfectly. Brian was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all my questions with clarity and confidence. His workmanship was outstanding, and he took the time to ensure a clean and safe setup. Beyond the exceptional quality of work, the pricing was very reasonable, offering great value for the level of service provided. It’s rare to find an electrician who combines technical expertise with such professionalism and customer-focused service. I highly recommend Hamilton Electric for any electrical work—especially for specialized projects like hot tub installations."

"In general, it went well. Everyone from Huft was very professional. The salesperson could not tell me the brand of water heater that would be installed. I had responded to ad on Angie's list. I should have paid attention to this. In the past, sales reps from other companies could tell me the brand name of the product, and if it qualified for a rebate. The product that was installed is an excellent product, but doesn't qualify for a rebate. The service personnel were all very polite and professional. What I would have done differently is pursued finding out the brand name of the product before it was installed and found out if it qualified for any SMUD rebates before making the purchase. In general, I would give Huft an excellent rating for service. They came back two days later when the water heater wasn't producing hot water, and installed new fuses. The technician was very professional and courteous. As a consumer, remember to jot down as many questions as possible before you meet with the contractor."

"I have used the electric company for several jobs, and they have always been professional, efficient, and great to work with. From installing an exhaust fan to a whole new panel no job is too small or too big for them."

"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."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

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.
