"Our house is over 30 years old and the electrical panel was in questionable state after various contractors over the years had accessed it for their projects. For safety and security reasons, we had Rooster Electric upgrade the electrical panel. The electrician needed to cut the house siding to install the new panel and did so expertly, providing new trim and caulking. The job looks great and we feel safer now that the panel is up to specs. Thank you, Rooster Electric, for walking us through the project and doing excellent work. Weâ re so tired of contractors taking the quick and easy route to get their job done rather than providing good, respectable customer service. Youâ ll get our recommendation whenever someone asks if we know a good and trustworthy electrical company. L&N in Fair Oaks"

"JH had to replace our electric box including the necessary grounding under our home to the water pipe, ground arching to the water heater. JH got the county permit, coordinated with SMUD to turn off then on our electricity and get county inspector to pass the work, all expedited. He also kept our necessary appliances running with his generator. I couldn t be more pleased with work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

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

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.

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.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.
