"I can t recommend Markus highly enough. Once contacted, he was prompt to respond and provided a written formal quote, which included cost breakdown of all materials and labor. He upgraded lighting and other electrical associated with our full kitchen remodel. The materials he recommended and installation fit our needs perfectly. The job was performed in 2 phases, before drywall and after drywall/texture/paint. Each time the workspace was left clean and free of work debris. He is courteous and able/willing to make changes on the fly. A true professional."

"I purchased a tiny home off of Facebook Marketplace at a great price, but unfortunately the electrical work was very subpar, and even had the potential to start a fire. Colin and his son came out and managed to come up with solutions to the multiple issues and had all the work completed within a few hours. If you need electrical work, I would definitely recommend Hurley's Electric!"

"I echo the thoughts of so many others and that of Sydney, in that you would think Link Electric wrote this review. Marcus is incredibly polite, attentive, easy-going, upbeat demeanor, professional and most of all, knowledgeable. When he told me he had finished installing the outside breakers, I was taken back because it he did it so quickly. I have another project to be done and Marcus will be the person I hire! He is truly exceptional like so many other have written."

"I hired Ryan from Hotleg Electric to upgrade an electrical panel. While we had him there we also decided have him install some can lights and move a few switches around. The work in the panel was perfect. Everything was labeled clearly, and all the wiring was impressively neat. He cleaned up after himself. Very professional."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.
