"Hegge sent someone out to survey the electrical usage at the house and described the complete process.  This included doing the survey, pulling the permit, getting the charger from Tesla, and doing the installation.  Once the job was inspected, they came back and closed up the electrical box and turned on the breakers.  They showed up when they said they were, they did the work and finished on time.  I paid the original estimate.  I would highly recommend Hegge.

"We used ADI Electrical ("ADI") five years ago for several relatively insignificant electrical fixes and were pleased with its punctuality, pricing and performance. We called ADI and several other A rated electrical companies from Angie's List in early October for an estimate to update our existing electric service to 200 amp after So Cal Edison indicated we would not have to relocate the panel. Ariel from ADI came to the house the day after my initial call in order to give us the estimate. I was very impressed by the fact that Ariel remembered the prior work that ADI did for us in 2013, and in fact, even remembered the additional things we had discussed wanting to do in the future (e.g., upgrading the panel, among other things). ADI's estimate compared favorably with the other electricians who also estimated the project (it was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive) and Ariel agreed to "throw in" several other small electrical fixes that I also wanted done while his electricians were at the house. When I called Ariel to schedule the work, he was able to schedule it within a few days on the precise date that I requested, October 9. On that date, two electricians from ADI came to the house precisely as scheduled. They completed all the necessary electrical work in approximately 6 hours with a minimal interruption in electrical service, and they cleaned up completely before leaving (which was important as the stucco had to be broken out from the box to the roof and there was quite a mess). The electricians were skillful, professional and courteous. Re-stuccoing was part of the estimate as I had no interest in finding a stucco person to repair the stucco after the panel installation, and I wanted that aspect of the job to be priced, scheduled and handled by ADI as part of its overall estimate. (Several other electrical companies would not include the stuccoing in their estimate and essentially wanted me to find the stucco contractor.) The stucco subcontractor came out the next day and started the process that took several days to complete due to the nature of re-stuccoing. At the conclusion of each day, the stucco guy cleaned up completely before leaving. Each step along the process was inspected by the city inspector and passed. The inspector complimented the work that was done by the electricians and the stucco guy. Ariel pulled the permit for the work originally and handled all the scheduling of the inspections that had to be done. Essentially, ADI made the process about as painless as possible. The panel has performed perfectly since installation. Having used ADI on multiple occasions now for everything from small jobs to larger ones, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone needing electrical work for their home, and I am pleased to provide this review."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

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

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
