"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

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.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

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.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
