Here at Everly Electrical Contracting we strive for excellence and take extreme pride in our work. We are not your typical service provider we are not going to come in and take advantage of our customers like most electricians do, we don't believe in lying to or cheating our customers by making them think services are required when they are not necessary.

"Hired Anthony Everly for multiple jobs related to my new home purchase. Communication was terrible, very unreliable, and I am not sure how but he billed my credit card directly at times without my approval. I have not been able to get him to provide justifications for the expenses/direct charges. I will definitively not use him again and am contemplating options to make sure the charges stop, perhaps even get refunded."

Welcome to Active Cabling & Communications, LLC. We provide the best electrical work for all our residential and commercial clients. We promise to serve our clients with the highest quality and the most convenient pricing.

"I really enjoyed the work by these Networking/Ethernet folks. A different provider had quoted me an $800-1000 project and said I needed Cat 6 cabling for ethernet, when really my existing Cat 5E was fine. All it took was ~$100 and one hour for parts and labor and I now have ethernet ports in every room that support Gigabit speed. Thanks again! Couldn't be happier with this."

"John and Dave are the best electricians I have found in Grand Junction. They do good work and understand customer service. John bid the job and didn't try to charge any extras after getting it, which speaks volumes about his character. That's a game many contractors play and it was refreshing to hire someone that didn't do it. I would highly recommend calling Steeds, LLC first if you need an electrician in the grand valley area."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.
