"Hiring Fleming's Electrical Service to install a sub panel and rewire my garage was the best thing I could have done! Brandon and Billy were fantastic! Their work was the best and their customer service first rate. With Fleming you get highly capable electricians and professionals that care about what they do. Pricing, communications , and follow-up was better than I could have expected. We're already talking about another job to install recessed lightning."

"Communication was fantastic and the team arrived right on schedule. The completed the installation in under 2 hours and went about it like professionals. They were very courteous and tidied up after themselves. I am very satisfied with the lighting fixture installation and would definitely hire them again for any electrical work that I can't complete myself."

"John and Tyler from Triple J are excellent. I hired them to install an outlet in our bathroom using the existing wires in our basement. They were punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Best of all, they performed the installation exactly as proposed and left the house as clean as they found it. Strongly recommend John and Tyler."

Customers say: True professional

"I would like to thank Crest Electric and their team for the work they did at my new home. We recently purchased a house in DE, and being new to the area, it was a relief to find a fair and reliable contractor who takes pride in their work. I needed their help with installing recess lighting, raising the electrical outlets, mounting TVs with TV mounts, installing chandeliers, and handling the installation of doorbells, cameras, and floodlights. It was such a relief to have Crest Electric manage this huge project, and they offered a reasonable price without making me feel like I was being ripped off. I highly recommend Crest Electric for their attention to detail and their willingness to make adjustments to ensure that everything is perfect in the eyes of their clients. This is something that a lot of contractors take for granted, but Crest Electric truly understands the importance of meeting their client's needs and preferences. -Michael"

"I needed a 15A circuit installed with receptacles and a switch and rough-in for an overhead fan/light. Mike arrived with an assistant and was on time (actually a few minutes early). After a quick conversation to go over the job again, they jumped right into the job. The price was reasonable and the work was done exactly as discussed and within a short amount of time. They were professional, conscientious, and cleaned up the work area before they left. I would hire them again in a heartbeat AND would recommend them to others. ...as a matter of fact, already have. Thanks again Mike!!!"

"William Burden is the third generation owner of WBLightningRods and his company has been in business since 1950. He is very courteous, professional, was on time, and has a very good crew. William was present for the entire installation. We chose the copper system. We are glad for the peace of mind a lightning rod system will provide."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

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

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.
