"Went very well. First time using this Angis list. Received a quick response from Angelino Electrical Services to come out. Other companies were scheduling anywhere to a week out. Surprisingly, there was no fee for Mr. Angelino coming out to the premises for an estimate. Other Electrical companies have a fee. Angelino quickly figured out the problem, said it's a quick fix. Along w he being here, he also looked at some other things I enquired about. The initial cost per hour was on the higher end, comparing it to some other electricians. The price for installation of a new outlet and a cover to another (now thinking about it) seemed to be pricy. Throughout the entire time Mr. Angelino was here, extremely nice and courteous individual, knowledgeable, clean, simply a great experience. Within making the appointment (over text) his employee was attentive with any questions or concerns I had (it made things comfortable without having any concerns having someone I don't know, especially hiring someone over an internet app/site). I will use him in the future for other work needed. Referral to anyone I know of any electrical issues."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
