Our mission is to provide unsurpassed customer service to all of our customers regardless of the project size. Please call our office to schedule your estimate 714-551-9841.

"I contacted I contacted JVEC after I had a very bad experience with another contractor. I was told by the first contractor that my problem was very complicated requiring a complete rewiring of an entire circuit. That would require the work of two electricians for a full day at a cost of $3,100 plus a new electrical box for $6,000. This seemed ridiculous so I called JVEC. The electrician from JVEC arrived and agreed that it was a fairly complicated situation but he was able to fix the problem in about an hour at a cost of $189. - no new electrical box required. To me this is a great example of an honorable contractor and a contractor that is just trying to squeeze as many dollars out of a customer that they can. I highly recommend JVEC for their professionalism and ethics. "

Work was performed in a timely manner, and we now have much cleaner power with less chance of a breaker randomly tripping/failing... Am very satisfied with the work and response. Highly recommended!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

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.
