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!"

"Woman who called me to give me more info and schedule was excellent and very friendly, great communication with her. The owner, I believe, who came to look at the job and give me a bid was professional and efficient as were the 3 guys who did the work. There was a 2 hour minimum work window which meant a $200 starting base price. They were done with my two projects (installing the outlet and fixing a hallway light) in less than an hour, so I guess I should have had more projects to get my full money's worth. They did a great job, though."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.
