"Just got a hot tub delivered and needed the electrical run to it. Mark and crew came out and installed a 50-amp GFCI breaker and ran conduit along the side of the house to a disconnect near the tub. Looked way cleaner than I expected. Passed inspection and we were soaking that weekend."

"I had 2 ceiling fan/lights installed in the bedrooms. Installation included 2 new circular circuit boxes in each bedroom ceiling. In addition, I replaced the kitchen ceiling light with an LED fixture. The 2 workers were very polite and professional and worked quickly and efficiently, in addition to being respectful of my personal belongings."

"The consultation with Sean was very helpful and corrected the unit we actually needed. The work was done in a timely way, very professional and thorough. The hook up of the transfer switch was perfect on the trial runs with the generator. Sean has quiet confidence that he communicated with me and gave me the trust I needed to work with his family business that was new to me. I would go right back to Fitzgerald again. Good team, good work, and good service."

"Chris did a wonderful job in my project. He installed light fixtures and replaced electrical switches for me. He went over and above, cleaning up a messy wiring situation that he discovered. Chris was professional, had great attention detail and extremely conscious of the work surroundings. He was very kind and considerate. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who needs electrical work."

"Overall experience was average. First day of installation was okay until I find out half of the house did not have power. Edgar came back the next day and explained the cause and fixed it with ease. Was getting push back about how everything was installed as it was and there shouldnâ t be any issues, well there was and he graciously came back and fixed the problem. I would definitely use this company in the future."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

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.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.
