"Dante transformed my home! 43 year old house with no overhead lighting. Dark! He installed 12 recessed lights in kitchen and family room. Now I love cooking in my NEW kitchen. Removed an old swag lamp and now I can enjoy my dining table. Then he put dimmers on so I can adjust the lighting. He also had the ceiling textured and painted. I wanted so bad to hug him, but Covid rules ! Iâ m using him for other projects and have recommended him to friends. Iâ d give him 10 stars if I could."

"Ben did a great job installing our bathroom exhaust fan. He was on time, very clean and charged me the price he quoted. He even wore protective booties over his shoes while inside the house. I'm now looking for more projects for Ben to do. Thank You again, see you soon Ben."

"The Plug, such a great name for a business that focuses not only on the task at hand but on great customer service! Michelle, a diligent individual and entrepenuer performed electrical and sound work at a shred job site. The electrical work she did was exceptional, the sound system she installed was of high quality. She brought a lot of smiles and joy with the sound system and beautiful lights that were installed. Overall everything went well and the client seems extremely happy with her work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

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.

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.

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.
