"I recently hired Herzog Brothers Electric to install a Level 2 EV charger (NEMA 14-50 outlet) at my home, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the entire experience. From the initial quote to the final installation, everything was handled with professionalism, transparency, and expert-level workmanship. Dustin and his team were prompt, courteous, and took the time to walk me through the entire process. They didn’t cut corners—every detail from conduit placement to material quality was top-tier. The wiring was clean, secure, and built to code. The team even gave thoughtful suggestions for future upgrades and made sure I was fully set up and operational before leaving. In a market where good electricians can be hard to find, Herzog Brothers Electric delivered excellence. If you’re considering any kind of EV installation or electrical work, I highly recommend them. Reliable. Honest. Professional. I’ll definitely be using them again. — Julius M., Fresno, CA"

"I have been wanting to hang flat screen televisions in my son's room and in my master bedroom for years. I finally decided to pull the trigger, but first, I needed new power outlets installed where the television would be mounted. Sergio was the first pro to reach out to me. Sergio scheduled an in home quote with me right away and arrived at the time he said he'd be here. He was very friendly and explained the entire scope of work to me and my wife. We scheduled an install date for two days later. On the day of installation, Sergio again showed up on time. Sergio originally told me that the project would take him approximately 2-3 hours to complete. He completed the project in 1 hour. The quality of his work was absolutely perfect. He even went above and beyond and marked exactly where the studs were behind the wall for me. I highly recommend Sercerval Electric LLC. A+++++ company!!!!!"

"Anthony did a great job and was very thorough and professional. He did a great job in explaining how my antenna system worked and said he was just a phone call away if I had any questions. I would hire him again for any other projects I may have. Thank you for being so thoughtful and professional."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.
