We are a family owned business. "Electrical Contractor C-10 We are based out of Orange County, California. We specialize in ADU additions, service panel upgrades, EV chargers, Lighting, troubleshooting, Hvac power/ disconnects, repairing/adding/ moving or removing outlets. We pretty much do everything electrical for residential and commercial. We take pride in getting your electrical projects done with a higher quality of work.

"We have planked ceilings in our older home and needed lighting in the kitchen and living room along with other electrical work during our kitchen remodel. Rene was prompt, easy to work with, has great communication and is fair with his rates. I spoke with a number of contractors about adding lighting but they either didn’t have a good option or had no experience. Rene worked with me to create a solution and did an excellent job explaining what would be done and helped me to visualize it as well. He is THE BEST and we trust him with any electrical needs for our home."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

The typical cost of a home generator is around $5,000, but prices range from $400 up to $13,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factor is the generator size, as larger generators that can support more square footage usually cost more. You can install an emergency backup generator for between $500 and $2,000 or a partial-home generator for between $2,000 and $6,500. Whole-home generators usually total between $5,000 and $13,000, with some models climbing as high as $18,000.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
