"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."

Established in 1981 in the northeast Los Angeles area, I have been in the electrical field since completing my coursework at Los Angeles Trade Tech in 1977. I worked for other contractors gaining valuable experience before starting my own business in 1979. We are a growing business serving Los Angeles and surrounding areas. We work on both large and small jobs. We do both new construction and remodeling work. We try to always make the customers happy, feeling that this is the best way of creating a good and lasting working relationship.

"Mr. Johnson and his crew have performed a fewjobs from lighting installations, to doorbell repair, to rewiring. Every job has been done well and at a reasonable price. The workers were respectful and very helpful at explaining the work they did before they left. What really set this outfit apart is Mr. Johnson himself. He always returns calls, his crews show up on time and perform the work expediently. On top of this, when I have had questions about other electrical concerns, Mr. Johnson takes time to have a phone call to consult on the issue. Mr. Johnson and his company are of high integrity and I would highly recommend them for any residential electric work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

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.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.
