"Sergio did a fantastic job! Very happy with the clean install of my tier 2 charger and he added a plug down below my panel. Would recommend for any sort of EV charging installs! Clear communicator, showed up when he said he would and his services were well-priced!"

"I worked with Obed on this project. He was friendly, responsive, and very professional. He helped me install a new circuit and outlet for an EV charger, along with some other light electrical work. His price was fair and competitive with other bids I received, and the work was completed timely and competently. I will reach out to him again for any electrical needs."

"B&C Electric did a great job. Robert Burns came to my house after another electrician from another company installed a Tesla charger. For the next 4 weeks we had trouble with different areas of our house losing power. I called this initial electrician back to fix the problem. He came and did some work but the power outages continued. That's when I said enough is enough and called Robert at B&C electric. He came and did a thorough evaluation of my sub panel. He found that the breaker switch installed by the other company was not only cheap but not wired correctly. Robert installed a new breaker switch and I have not had any trouble since. Robert explained everything to me and showed me what he was doing. The best electrician I have used, hands down. I will use him again!"

"Having electrical issues to the point of calling SDG&E who sent a tech out immediately. Verdict: SDG&E was not the problem; the problem was in our panel. Appointment set, Jeremiah came right on time, made the diagnosis, gave us the options, and made the repairs within the hour. Jeremiah gave great information on the problem and the causes of the issue. Will use Mister Sparky in the future for any electrical issue."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

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.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

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.
