"The Wighton's team did a very professional, thorough job. They were very prompt and courteous. They kept everything very clean. The units that they installed work beyond my expectations. I'm very please with the service I received, and would not hesitate to hire them again."

"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

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
