Our electricians specialize in panel upgrades, whole house rewiring, whole house fans, photovoltaic solar systems, lighting design, recessed lighting, retrofit, remodel and additions, electric vehicle charging stations, and electrical troubleshooting.

We are now a significant provider of solar power systems to the foothill region of central California in Calaveras and Amador counties.
"Jason responded to my Angi request within 5 minutes of my entry. When I described my problem, he let me know that if I bought a different kind of light bulb I would not need an electrician. My florescent light bulbs had gone out in my laundry room and when I bought new ones at the store, they said they required the removal of wiring to the ballast and work had to be done by a knowledgeable expert. Jason let me know there are replacement LED bulbs that don't require rewiring and he texted me a link to ones at Home Depot. Yay! This was great, not just because of the cost savings, but because my house is for sell and I need the lights working ASAP for a broker tour this week."

"Dave is very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a burned fuse box (for the air con). He replaced it with one that was state-of-the art. Made sure that the air con was working properly; made sure the outlet to the washer and dryer room was properly functioning. He was so prompt in coming for a free estimate. He came with another worker, and completely the job in less than an hour. Our cost was $250, a nice surprise, considering our last electrician bill was $700 (breaker outlet, and, to add insult to injury, DEFECTIVE work on the triple switch right). It was wonderful to take care of this so efficiently since we are selling a house. Thanks, Dave! Thanks Homeadvisor!"

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:
Refrigerator: 600 watts
Large dehumidifier: 700 watts
Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts
Water heater: 3,000 watts
Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:
Portable generator:
2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers.
4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.
8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.
Partial to whole-house generator:
20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
