"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!"

"Precision installed my water heater two years ago. When I had my furnace serviced, the technician checked the pressure on the water heater and it was very high, a component had failed. A plumber from Precision came out and replaced the defective part since it was under warranty. He suspected that a water pressure regulator may have to be installed but when he checked the water pressure coming into the house, it was in the acceptable range. He could have just as easily told me I needed this and it would have cost me $600 but Jacob was an honest man. I am so impressed with his integrity. I will use them again in the future for sure. The replacement of the defective part didn't cost me anything. Thank you Precision for being an honest company."

"First-rate service with a personal touch! Itâ s hard to find this kind of care and attention anymore when looking for home repairs. We needed our roof redone and a bunch of electrical repairs. Redrocks Roof and Solar worked with us every step of the way to make sure we were completely satisfied while respecting our budget. They also worked diligently with our insurance company to make sure that nothing was left out of our estimate. Robert and Brooke definitely go the extra mile on everything!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

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.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
