"I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe Brewster (owner Elevation Electric), a licensed electrician, to install a Level 2 electric vehicle charger at my home, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience! From start to finish, Joe’s professionalism, expertise, and customer-focused approach made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Joe was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the installation process, recommend the best charger for my EV, and ensure everything met local codes and safety standards. He arrived on time, equipped with all the necessary tools and materials, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. The attention to detail was impeccable—every wire was neatly installed, and the charger was perfectly positioned for convenience. What truly stood out was Joe’s commitment to customer satisfaction. He patiently answered all my questions, offered tips on optimizing my EV charging setup, and even followed up after the installation."

"Back in 2024, Jesus and his team did a phenomenal job adding a new circuit/outlet in our garage for our new chest freezer and outlets with USBs for our e-bikes and other gear. He came in the morning to talk about the project and give and estimate and they were able to complete the work same day even though it was a bigger project than I’d originally described in my request. He explained the options well and was able to put everything exactly as we wanted. Very happy with how that project turned out. This year, we hired Jesus’s team again to install new light fixtures in our bathroom (vanity lights and sconces) and move some outlets. Again he and his team did a great job and were lovely to work with. We’ll be reaching out for more assistance with our bathroom reno."

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.

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.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

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.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.
