"Unfortunately, Hamilton installed the wrong type dryer outlet first, as Costco did not specify what was required. When I called in a panic, Brian Hamilton came out himself and installed the cofrect plug."

"Fred came to fix my attic fan which was broken in multiple ways. He explained to me exactly what the problem was, responded quickly to both texts and calls, and fixed our problem within the timing that we had originally discussed. He was exceptional from top to bottom and I intend on relying on him in the future if we have other issues."

"Perfect Star is a top notch company with top notch personnel. I had my home HVAC system completely replaced and, from start to finish, Perfect Star provided outstanding service. The sales rep, Enrique, took the time to understand my current issues and concerns and offered viable solutions. The Perfect Star Install Manager, David, also inspected our system to confirm the right solution would be in place even prior to ever signing a contract. The Installation Team of Austin, Emanuel and Ray provided a through and professional installation. David, the Install Manager, was once again also on the scene to lend his expertise to the installation. I strongly recommend this company for any of your HVAC needs. Perfect Star is honest, professional, offers competitive pricing and are the best experts in their field."

"He did a good job on everything and even came back to adjust one of the cameras I had installed. My only complaint was that I paid $420 for 4 1/2 hours work. That seems rather excessive"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

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

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.

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.
