I have been doing electrical since 2005 in Sonoma, Marin and now Sacramento county. I have worked in the industrial, commercial and residential side of electrical. This background has made me a very well rounded tradesman. Each area of the trade was rewarding but I enjoyed residential the best. I really enjoyed working with the customer one on one to get their electrical needs accomplished and something that they can really enjoy. I have gone from track homes to high end custom homes and everything in between. I started Douglas Electric because I felt I had a lot to offer the public. I know how hard it can be for those that seek electrical services so I try to make it as smooth as possible.

Sewer problems? Drains Backed up? Trenchless Company specializes in sewer and waterline repair and replacement without digging! We have a full service drain cleaning and rooter division with professional service technicians available 24/7. We service both residential and commercial customers in Sacramento and surrounding areas, San Francisco/Bay Area and San Jose. In addition, we are licensed in the state of Nevada to service the Lake Tahoe and Reno community. We have the most cutting edge technology to handle all of your plumbing, sewer and drain cleaning needs. To learn more about our company, visit our website at www.dontdig.com or call us today at 1-888-DONTDIG. The Trenchless Company was established in January 2000. The owner Max Greenberg is a third generation plumbing contractor locally in the Sacramento area. His inspiration for The Trenchless Company came to him while he was working at his father's plumbing company. He came across a new technology called Trenchless that allowed damaged sewer and waterlines to be replaced without digging. Max realized the importance of this new technology as it relates to the plumbing industry and envisioned forming a plumbing company around it. The Trenchless Company was founded on utilizing the latest technology available to solve their customers plumbing problems with less destruction and mess to their property.

"This review replaces a previous review written as the work was nearing completion, after the field supervisor was freed from a larger assignment. With his hands-on leadership, the project was closed out in a few hours, and the county inspector approved the work. It was a rocky road. This three-day project expanded into three weeks. While the initial team started well, the work was slowed by equipment failures, reassigned workers, and poor team communication. The work failed two county inspections due to insufficient management oversight, and was resolved by redoing a lot of the work and tearing up more of our yard. Two sprinkler lines had been broken and improperly repaired. After I spoke with the owner of the company, a senior leader ensured the sprinklers were fixed, and the work area cleaned. The owner and managers are using this experience to further train their staff on their field practices."

We guarantee your satisfaction and we won’t leave until the job is done right. We pride ourselves on the quality work we provide, while delivering great customer service! Check out our services offered and call or click to schedule an estimate.

"Eugene surpassed our expectations for this project. He was honest, pragmatic, and said what he was going to do, then did it in a workmanlike manner. We received bids for this project that ranged between $2200 and $5000, with solutions that varied wildly in complexity to match the bids. Eugene suggested a practical, no nonsense solution, that saved hundreds of dollars from the lowest bid. He demonstrated, in more ways than I can articulate in a review, his competence as an electrician. He arrived on time, communicated his progress, was personable, then cleaned up at the end of the job leaving no trace of any work debris. If the scale were 0 to 10 on our overall satisfaction, we’d give Eugene an 11."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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.

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.
