"I was very happy with the service from William at Garafano Electric. I left a voice message and he returned the call within a day to set an appointment and to understand the specifics of what I needed to insure that he brought the correct parts. He let me know up front that there was a minimum one-hour charge for the visit. On the day of the appointment, William arrived precisely at the agreed time. The light switch repair was a small job that only took about 15 minutes and I'm very happy with the quality of the job and the new switch. William asked if I had other electrical tasks needed doing so that I could get the full benefit of the hour. The only item I could think of was that the bulbs in the living room fixture needed to be replaced, but it's a cathedral ceiling and too high for me to reach. I did not have the correct bulbs on hand, so William drove to Home Depot, purchased the bulbs and then installed them for me, all within the one-hour charge. This was well beyond what I expected a service provider to do and I was very pleased with the customer service. I would certainly hire Garafano Electric again."

"If anyone has ever had a electrical panel installed, they know it’s a long process. You are dealing with the City, Electricity Company and inspector, it is very time consuming and if you don’t know what you are doing, it becomes very frustrating. Christopher was so helpful. He was there when I had questions and explained how to get permits, who to call and when to call then. He was very professional when he installed the panels and made sure everything was done properly. He price was very reasonable and we did not feel we were being taken advantage of. I highly recommend Christopher’s Company."

"I had a whole house fan installed. Paul was extremely helpful over the phone and gave valuable information. The install was a bit tricky but Robert and Paul did an outstanding job of trouble shooting and keeping the install at the price quoted. Both were exceptionally knowledgeable about the install and were very helpful in answering all the questions that were asked. I would hire them again in a minute."

"Wallace provided outstanding electrical service from start to finish. He arrived punctually and maintained a professional demeanor throughout the project. His technical expertise was evident as he successfully installed three light fixtures, replaced one outlet, and expertly repaired another outlet. What truly set Wallace apart was his attention to detail and respect for our property. He cleaned up thoroughly as he worked, leaving no mess behind. Additionally, he was very considerate of our schedule, working efficiently without disrupting our day. I highly recommend Wallace for any electrical needs. His combination of technical skill, professionalism, and customer service makes him a standout contractor"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.
