"Dealing with Elcon Electric was truly a pleasure. First, the scheduling department had John come to our home at a time that was convenient to us. He arrived as promised and clearly ran through the estimate, permitting process and FPL's involvement. He went on to mention that it would likely be necessary to cutout a portion of the drywall that we would be responsible for replacing. Fortunately, the additional cutout was not required. Over the course of the next several weeks, the scheduling and permitting department kept us informed of the estimated installation date. Once confirmed, Roman, the electrician, arrived as scheduled, performed the installation flawlessly and left our home in perfect condition with a brand new electrical panel. Would definitely hire again and recommend to our friends and relatives."

"We called Steve and Jerry to provide an estimate to install a Siemens electric vehicle charging station in our garage. They were prompt and their estimate, which included running wires through the attic to install a new 220 plug in the garage and mounting the charger, was less than a competitor who specializes in installing these chargers. We asked them if they could install it right away and they agreed. The two worked together to install it in just the right place, took care of the wiring, added a breaker to the fuse box, and did a great job. We would definitely call again."

"The work is not yet complete, permitting process has just started. All of my contacts with the company so far have been very positive. Sales and customer service are handled in a highly professional manner. The final permits and certificates have been completed and closed. All of the people I dealt with at Reliable Power Systems were polite and professional, keeping me up to date on project status. A word of advice to homeowners considering installing a home generator, be prepared to wait for your city to approve permits and complete inspections. These were the items that took the most time, and over which you and company have no control. It is also best to choose a company, like Reliable Power Systems, that handles 100% of the work. I highly recommend this company."

"Guy Jr arrived on time and was very Professional and an all around nice guy. He installed 2 ceiling fans for me, replaced a few light switches and also an outside outlet that I could not get to work. He also looked at my inside and outside breaker panels to make sure everything was up to date. I will be calling Top Dog Electric again for my next round of electrical needs as I just bought this house and I am doing work to it little by little."

"We recently had to replace a 40-year-old electric panel and a broken ring camera. I diligently secured three bids and decided on J.R. Electric Inc. They were not the cheapest but they were the best choice. They delayed the installation until they could get an early morning appointment with FPL so that our power would be turned back on the same day. They completed the work on time and professionally even going above and beyond to make sure that the new ring device was working properly with an antique Samsung phone. (No small feat.) In short, we have found our forever Electrical Contractor. I wouldnâ t dream of using any other company for future projects."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.
