"If I could give Jeremy and his team 10 stars I would, they are simply that good! He has installed recess lighting in both of the houses we have owned. Both houses we have owned have a light switch connected to an outlet. He installed new lighting and made sure that the wiring to the outlet works without a switch. He did this for both our living room and upstairs master bedroom. We also asked him if he would install a generator plug outside as well. He installed it and made sure we knew A.) how to run the generator. B.) How to turn the panel off and switch the main breaker on for the generator and C.) Made sure he labeled all breaker switches we were able to use while using the generator to power the house. I will never use anyone but Jeremy and JMP Electric moving forward on any electrical for my house. I would highly recommend him and his company. He is just simply amazing. Look no further when looking to have someone do your electrical. You really won't find anyone better."

"I hired Elevate Electric to install multiple electrical outlets in my basement after a waterproofing project. Kyle installed electrical outlets, ran a new circuit, and upgraded a breaker. The result looks outstanding! The new circuit wire is routed cleanly and he even dressed up some previous wiring too. Kyle shaped conduit around existing items along the basement wall making the whole utility room look good. This is probably the 4th time I have hired Kyle for electrical work. He consistently does great work. The quality is top notch and his pricing is extremely fair. You cannot go wrong with Elevate."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

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.

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
