"He is extremely attentive to your needs . What he says will happen , does! He keeps all appointments and thoroughly explains what he plans to do. He is one of the most reliable, ethical , conscience businessman I have ever dealt with. I have recommended him to friends . He actually went out of his way to help Ill friends deal with their generator problems even though he had not installed it. He made arrangements for someone to fix the generator when he was not able. Highly recommended !"

"It was a pleasure to deal with this company. They are extremely knowledgeable in designing an electrical charging station in what was a difficult i situation. My breaker panel and garage were on opposite sides of my home. A solution was given at a reasonable price. I could not be happier. All work was done professionally with great attention to detail. If you are in need of electrical services, donâ t look any further. They are without a doubt, the best."

"Great service and Mark was professional at his work and explaining the problem. It wasn't the fan in the master bedroom that went bad, and he suspected the circuit GFI was tripped. We spent a little time to look for the failed GFI and was able to locate it in an odd place. The diagnostic price was a little expensive though."

"The electrician Kyle was professional , honest and affordable. He was punctual and courteous. I hired him for the wiring and panel upgrade but I requested he change my six GFCI outlets and check the older outlets. He checked the outlets that I was worried about -they were good. He did need to replace a different inside outlet and 2 of the 4 outside outlets. He was kind and explained why they needed to be replaced. One just was no longer working. The other 2 were not up to code actually were a fire hazard. I am female senior citizen grateful I hired Elevate Electric."

"We've worked with Mike on three major kitchen/bathroom remodels now, and he has always managed the projects expertly, ensuring that everything was done to an extremely high standard. What's more, he and his co-workers are a pleasure to have around the house. Renovations are inherently stressful, but Mike takes care of everything for you. My only reservation in recommending him and his company is that he'll get so booked up he won't be available to help on our future projects! Highly recommend."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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