"Went very well. First time using this Angis list. Received a quick response from Angelino Electrical Services to come out. Other companies were scheduling anywhere to a week out. Surprisingly, there was no fee for Mr. Angelino coming out to the premises for an estimate. Other Electrical companies have a fee. Angelino quickly figured out the problem, said it's a quick fix. Along w he being here, he also looked at some other things I enquired about. The initial cost per hour was on the higher end, comparing it to some other electricians. The price for installation of a new outlet and a cover to another (now thinking about it) seemed to be pricy. Throughout the entire time Mr. Angelino was here, extremely nice and courteous individual, knowledgeable, clean, simply a great experience. Within making the appointment (over text) his employee was attentive with any questions or concerns I had (it made things comfortable without having any concerns having someone I don't know, especially hiring someone over an internet app/site). I will use him in the future for other work needed. Referral to anyone I know of any electrical issues."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.
