Customers say: True professional

"We needed work done involving three different trades and were hoping to find one company that could complete all aspects of the job. The work included sheetrock replacement (including texturing to be paint-ready), laminate flooring & padding installation, and bath vanity install & connect water lines. We received estimates from four different companies and chose Armando Espinoza Villa Handyman. Armando came over to see and discuss the job and provided an estimate later that day. He has a calm, low key demeanor and did a good job of listening to what we needed done. His pricing was fair, and he has experience in all the areas involved in our project. He also has many very good reviews on Angi, which was a factor in hiring him. Additionally, we Googled his company to see photos of his work. Armando completed all of the work on our house in just over two days. His work looks professional and we're very pleased with how it turned out. We'd hire him again. We've included photos."

"We hired proper power electric to update lighting and switches in our home. Forest and foster showed up on time. They were professional and in sync with each other. We added recessed lighting, fan ,and outdoor lights to our new home. Forest made suggestion to add another switch down the hallway to make it easier to turn off lights when going to the room. Both were knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. They even helped my neighbor with their solar panel system. We had a great experience and will definitely hire again."

"Did a great job, even corrected some code violations that were present when we moved in. Installed multiple 110v, 230v single phase, 230v 3 phase and 480v 3phase circuits, wired a paint booth, Tumbler unit, overhead crane systems, and even did some repairs on a complicated piece of machinery that wasn’t working. Great guys work hard no excuses. They get the job done plain and simple. I had used them twice because they were that reliable."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.
