"I had them put in a Tesla charging outlet and replace some fluorescent lights in my kitchen. They gave me a fair quote and did a good. When their guys were running late to the time they said they would arrive they called me and gave me a new arrival time. Professional company with great customer service. I worked with Hector, he is very good. I recommend them."

"Alex was professional, knowledgeable, and a true team player. I really appreciated that he was local and took the time to come to my house to see exactly what was needed. He walked me through the permit and inspection process, which went smoothly thanks to his clear communication and expertise. He answered all my questions, explained everything in simple terms, and made sure I felt comfortable with each step. I also found his pricing to be very reasonable—affordable without cutting corners. The inspection went well, and it was clear the work was done right the first time. He showed up on time, kept the work area clean, and was respectful throughout the project. It’s hard to find someone so reliable and down-to-earth. I’m really glad I chose to work with Alex and would definitely call him again for future projects. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a solid, trustworthy electrician in the area!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

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.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

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.
