"James, the owner came out for me on a Saturday after my power was restored, but only to half of my house. Within minutes he found it was the GFI in my bathroom that would not reset causing the rest of the house not to come on. Could not be happier with the service."

"Michael promptly responded to my request, showed up on time, gave me an honest evaluation and quoted me a reasonable price. What a relief after initially interviewing an electrician who never showed up, nor responded to my email asking where he was an hour after he was to show up for the appointment; then another electrician who wanted to do more work than was necessary which would have cost 3 times what Michael charged me! After I hired Michael, he sent Edward, his associate to do the work. I was equally impressed with Edward, as he too was very professional and friendly, did a great job. AC Electric restored my trust in contractors available through Home Advisor, after an additional bad experience with a furnace installer. The furnace installer made substantial mistakes, but refused to take responsibility, claiming that PG&E didn't know what they were doing by connecting a wire that went unnoticed. PG&E finally stopped the furnace from overheating, which was straining unable to emit air through the vents-they saved the furnace and possibly my house; nor would he acknowledge that he forgot to turn the gas to the water heater back on after installing the furnace, which we found after the concerned tenant complained-not to mention his arrogant attitude! If I ever have trouble with the furnace, I'll call someone else-never him again! Thank you, AC Electric! Sandra G Marin County"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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. 

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
