"Absolute AMAZING service! My electricity was out when I arrived home after work at Midnight and the breaker box was hot..I requested quotes online because it is midnight and thought I would have to deal until morning but my phone rang and Jon was willing to come out then because I had no electricity...it ended up being the cable wire attached to my home but he waited 3 hours for LCEC to arrive to make sure my electricity was back on and working!! Talk about Excellent service! I highly recommend this company and will use then for all my electrical needs..Thank you sooooo much!"

"Always On Generator has been outstanding from the initial presentation by William Hawkins, the owner of the company, to the final information session for homeowners. On the day of the final load test and electrical permit inspection, all went perfectly. Dustin, a mechanical engineer and electrician, reviewed the generator operation in great detail. He was professional and very informativeâ  a great teacher. My compliments to him. Hats off to the office staff as well. I particularly want to mention Trishia, office manager. Her skill in juggling the schedules and our multiple requests has been outstanding. She demonstrates a 5-star rating for customer service. It has been a pleasure to work with her during the process from contract to completion. After comparing three companies, we selected Always On for our Generac whole house generator based on the recommendations of our neighbors and the companyâ  s competitive price. If our example is typical, Always On doesnâ  t need to spend money advertising for new customers. Satisfied customers are the best and most reliable form of advertising. Again we are grateful that we chose William Hawkins and Always On. Their work and customer service philosophy are so excellent that we remain their customer through their Deluxe service package. We highly recommend the company." Bob Grabowski"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.

Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.

It wouldn’t be abnormal to view all wiring as simply wiring, but wiring has different gauges and can handle different loads. When you’re wiring for 240V, you need wire that is rated at least 240V, but honestly it’s better to spend a little more and just buy 300V wiring. This ensures a margin of safety in case the wiring gets overloaded.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours. 

When selecting a pool heater, it’s important to think not just about the cost of the unit itself but also about how much it costs to run. Expect to pay about $100 per month to run a heat pump pool heater. A natural gas heater will cost twice that amount, while an electric pool heater costs about $250 a month.
