Customers say: Quick response

"I don't usually write reviews because it's time consuming and I often don't find providers to be exceptionally good or bad - but I definitely read them - so consider this worth double weight: I thought Mr. Ross did a wonderful job explaining the full extent of the project, and how he would handle the details. Super knowledgeable! He got all the permits, fixed the roof patch that was needed, and cleaned up the mess. His crew was clean cut and on-time, and he stuck by his quoted price. I will hire him again for a shed electric project I have coming up. Great work, Ross stands by his name."

"Absolute Electrical did a great job of installing our QuietCool fan. They were very professional, thoughtful (quietly closed front door as they went in and out) and cleanly (thoroughly cleaned work area). I would recommend them to any of our neighbors and friends."

"Excellent experience, highly satisfied! Based on the 5 star reviews on Nextdoor, I called Just In Time Electrical to have some electrical issues fixed and new lighting added. Michael came out within a couple days to do an estimate and returned a couple days later to do the work. My home presented a few special challenges, but Michael and another technician, John, worked through them with patience and expertise, and they successfully completed all 3 projects with professionalism and to my specs. I am thrilled with the new living room recessed lighting, remote wall switch solution in another room, as well as the corrections made to my bathroom 3-way lighting. Thanks guys!"

"I hired Mark with Anderson Diagnostics on 2 separate occasions. Both were very positive experiences. The first time Mark changed out interior and exterior door hardware, and did drywall/wall texture repair. The second time I hired him to paint the interior of my home as well as change the baseboards in my master bedroom. He does excellent quality work and communicates very well. I also feel like he has integrity. I plan to hire him for future jobs."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.
