"Unfortunately, Hamilton installed the wrong type dryer outlet first, as Costco did not specify what was required. When I called in a panic, Brian Hamilton came out himself and installed the cofrect plug."

"I have used the electric company for several jobs, and they have always been professional, efficient, and great to work with. From installing an exhaust fan to a whole new panel no job is too small or too big for them."

"Hector came by and gave me a quote. Explained what I needed done to setup my level 2 EV Charger from Electrify America. They came out, showed up early. Got everything done on a timely manner, Even hardwired the station, instead of installing an outlet. Hook up my Car before they left and everything is charging and working great. Great business, Great employees."

"Single Line Electric replaced the sub-panel (fuse box) for our house. My wife works from home, so we needed to schedule it for a day she was working in her Oakland office. Scheduling was not a problem. We got a competitive price, and the work crew was friendly and courteous. After the sub-panel was installed, the crew went through the house to make sure all electric outlets were functioning and properly labeled. They cleaned up thoroughly. My wife had purchased a ceiling fan that had not been installed. I asked the work crew if they could add that to the work order. No problem. Single Line will be my first call for future work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more.
