Hi, I’m Klaus. I’ve been an electrician for over 25 years and a Master for 22, specializing in residential and commercial installations, refits/remodels and troubleshooting. Here at Resolute Electric we can help you out with all of your electrical projects and problems. From replacing that atrocious light you’ve always hated to wiring your new house or business, we’re ready to power your needs.

" Without a doubt, I have NEVER dealt with a more honest, up front and professional electrician! They stayed in constant communication, stayed within my budget, punctual and were very willing to work within my time constraints. Best of all you may ask? I had other quotes that were jaw dropping and absurd. These pros told me that the work that I needed, was not what the competition was trying to ask me to pay for. I can say without contestation, that this is the most honest electrician (any contractor for that matter) has been! KUDOS and grateful for there are still some honest people out there. If there were TEN stars, they would have earned them! To quote the late Gene Wilder in the movie-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory… “So shines a good deed, in this weary world.” "

"I contacted Angi for an electrician on a Sundy evening for an emergency and received a immediate response from Galloway Electric. The team arrived in a reasonable period of time and quickly restored our power. The team also explained what caused the electrical failure and proposed alternative solutions to prevent recurrence. The estimate was fair, and we contracted them to do the work, which was completed over multiple days, with excellent communication and quality of work. The team was professional.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.
