"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."

"David was very professional. The quote was very reasonable considering everything that he had to do. I have an older home so wanted GFI installed, power installed for a fountain as well as circuit breaker update. I highly recommend this company. Thank you!"

"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

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.

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.
