"Sergio and his assistant installed an EV charger at my place, and they did an amazing job. I’m so glad I hired them. Their price was reasonable compared to other contractors. I highly recommend them and would definitely use their company again for any future jobs."

"I am just so super extremely happy with the quality of work done, no doubt exceeded my expectations. It was a challenging install to get it from the panel through up the wall, over the roof and then through the attic into the garage, about an 80 foot run. I’m extremely particular about clean minimalist aesthetics to match the modern home we have. Such beautiful work, looks like it was designed for the home. Honestly can’t wait to work with Bumblebee for future projects. His commercial experience really shines through."

"Robert did an amazing job installing several 3-way Leviton WiFi smart switches in the stairwell of my home. He was very professional, detail oriented with the install, and did a great job sharing the info with me on how he set things up! The work areas were all cleaned up and he took his time to make sure everything was pristine. I definitely recommend Robert if you’re looking to have any electrical work done. Thank you!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.
