"Needed to install a new vent fan that required removal of some cabinets, new electrical wiring from my electrical panel into the kitchen, and installation of the vent fan and exhaust. He did a fantastic job and would definitely use him again!"

"The service provider had the wrong assignment directions but completed the desired assignment nonetheless. I requested instillation of two track lights in a 15 foot vaulted ceiling. The worker had â installation of power plugs.â"

"I hired Adam to install a light fixture to go over my pool table. I should mention that Adam is a Master Electrician. He does EXCELLENT work at a very reasonable price!!! I used to use bigger contractors to do all my electrical work [usually an apprentice was sent out]. Adam did a fantastic job. I will use only Adam for all my electrical work from now on. He is very professional and honest. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asks me. The fact that Adam is a Master Electrician and does the work made me feel very comfortable that the job would be done right. He is a 10 out of 10 in my opinion!"

"Todd Chaney is an exceptional electrician. He has completed work for me on a mechanic shop, a vacation rental, and a mixed‑use retail building, and the quality has been consistently excellent. Todd understands the full construction process, which makes him highly effective at diagnosing issues and installing or repairing electrical systems in any situation — residential, commercial, or older structures. I’m hiring Todd, with Pink Brick Electric again this spring to handle major electrical work on my 1880 Queen Anne Victorian. Projects like this require experience, precision, and good judgment, and I trust Todd completely. He communicates clearly, gives honest and thoughtful feedback, asks the right questions, and respects the homeowner’s perspective. Working with him is straightforward and professional. The Pink Brick is a company built on integrity, and I recommend them without hesitation"

"Really responsive and prompt, especially in the installation phase. We did have a couple of small hiccups, which in my mind a homeowner should expected on literally any remodeling project, and they were resolved quickly. Communication on final details like inspections could have been smoother, but overall the whole process was very clear, well managed, and well executed. Happy with the choice to go with Red Rocks."

"Great experience! They were very professional with the installation and service, respectful of the home and removal of old furnace, and provided a wonderful new system that has kept the house super comfortable! The utility bill has been significantly reduced from replacing the old heater, no doubt it will be paid for through the savings!!"

Generator Install FAQs, 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.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
