"William and his team did a fantastic job upgrading our meter panel. They took care of all the permits and had the job done on time and on schedule. They were extremely communicative throughout the entire process and I would use them for all electrical services in the future."

"Franks Innovative Electric was very professional and did a great job at our home. Electrical work is an art and you simply cannot trust just anyone to start moving electrical wires throughout your house. Just imagine the damage that can be caused by hiring the wrong electrician. So, don't just hire anyone. It can be the worst decision you can ever make for you and your family. I would highly recommend Franks Innovate Electric. They are a quality company and fast and dependable. They are also neat and clean. And, that is a huge plus!"

"Quinn was professional and courteous. In addition to the EV charger installation, he also installed 2 new circuits with breakers and new conduit. All the work looked amazing and he and his associate cleaned up everything when they were done. Couldn’t have been happier with the work done. Would highly recommend Quality Electric."

Customers say: True professional

"Kevin was able to come out the same day I called to inspect and replace a fluorescent light fixture that had gone bad. He gave me two options for replacement (install a similar fixture or go with an LED fixture). Since the fixture was in a recessed space above a sink that made it hard to change bulbs, I went with a LED replacement unit that requires no light bulbs. It was a little more, but well worth the extra cost. He was professional and I found his prices to be quite reasonable. So... I had him give me some quotes for other electrical projects I wanted done. He will be back next week to start those projects! I would recommend Kevin to anyone based on this experience."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

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.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

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.
