"Brad Rosbach is a kind and attentive electrician who helped me make a clear decision. He did not take advantage of my lack of knowledge and his honesty and integrity were key in my making a better decision for me. He has an outstanding moral compass and I am keeping his number for future use. Thank you, Brad. You Rock! Shirlena Espinoza"

"This was the third electrician I called as the other two I called did not return my calls in spite of repeated messages I left. Dane returned my call and stopped at my house the same day with an estimate. The work was done the following week to my complete satisfaction and the workers were courteous and professional. They even vacuumed the rug after they completed the job. The price turned out to be more than the estimate as more work was required than originally anticipated but it was fair. He is my electrician from now on."

"Gabriel was amazing! He communicated everything he did, explained the fault in the outlet, which another company couldn’t locate. He was professional, courteous and skilled. His price was on point and honest. He wore a mask to ensure there were no concerns about covid. We have him programmed into our phone as “our electrician” and I hope the word travels that he is just THAT good!! Total thumbs UP!!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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.

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.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.
