"The power brown-out happened on a Friday afternoon and I babied it Saturday and Sunday by flipping the breakers on-and-off which I was terrified of doing. I didn't want to make matters worse. I came to work Monday morning, did a quick look on Angie's and found Steve. I chose him for his high rating. I called, left a frantic message and prayed I hear something quick. It all happened during all the rain we received in late February. Received a call within a couple of hours. We made arrangements for him to get into my yard (I drove home from work and left the gate unlocked) so his guys could come by and take a look a things. They didn't make it, by the time I got home from work and it was raining and I just figured they'd make it the next day. By 4:30p I texted Steve to say I'd see him possibly the next day? He immediately texted back and said "No, my guys are on the way, they'll be there, rain or no rain!". God bless him! (I'd rigged up a 100ft extension cord that ran from my fridge out into my garage where I still had power so I wasn't too put-out convenience wise as the back of my house had power too). Sure enough, at 5p two tired, wet guys got to my house. I went out with them and held an umbrella over them while the looked at my breaker box. It was determined that - YES.. the breakers were very old and needed to be replaced and then discovered that during a remodel the breaker box had been compromised and not repaired correctly, so basically the whole thing had to come out and be replaced. For that night though they reset the breakers again to hopefully give me power for the night and said Steve would be in touch to schedule an appt for them to come tear it out. The power stayed on for two hours, surged and blew again, so I retreated to the back of the house and and didn't worry about it. I'd left my fridge plugged into the extension cord, so I was okay for food! I just had to take it to work to cook it since my oven and stove are gas with electric starters... no cooking at home! The crew came out four days later to demo the box and re-install a new, bigger one with all new breakers and room for more as my old one was to capacity. The demo and waiting for the city inspector to sign-off on each step made the project drag on for weeks no fault being with Steve and his crew. It's just the way things are. Throughout the entire ordeal, I had power the first day of the demo, the rest was all cosmetic and re-construction of my wall (stucco etc). His crew changed for each phase and every crew member were polite, courteous and extremely neat! I'd check their progress each time and short of the huge hole in my wall, you'd never know they'd been there. The clean-up was spot-on each time and they always closed my gate and let me know when they were coming and going. They were almost done with the final stages when my pool service contacted me to say that the state laws had changed on the grounding laws for pool filters and mine needed to be changed to bring it up to the new laws. I had him contact Steve and the two of them worked out what needed to be done and the cost of that upgrade was added to the bill and now I know I'm good and safe for the pool and the house. Just knowing the two trades Since I work super early in the mornings and later into the afternoon and evenings, I couldn't be home when they'd come and I never felt creepy leaving my gate unlocked as they came and went which was a huge thing that I didn't have to be there each time. The final stage of the stucco is beautiful and matches what is there already, so I'm totally good to go!"

"Fantastic outcome! I was initially convinced replacing my circuit breaker panel would solve my many house electrical problems. Owner Bill convinced me the intelligent/logical approach would be to trouble shoot everything before committing to same. Their staff identified several problems and professionally fixed everything at a very reasonable price. I expect to eventually upgrade the circuit breaker panel but will cross that bridge when necessary. In the meantime, very happy with how fine everything is working now. Wonderful Experience!!!"

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
