"These guys were top notch; very fair rate for installing a 220v outlet in my garage. They came on the weekend and did the work in less than an hour. Would definitely recommend R&L Power to anyone looking for quality electricians."

"Done with no problems. The second one was delayed because Brad was out of town and didn't return when expected. The missed appointment may have been beyond his control and the result a communication problem between him and his assistant. Because of the delay, he did not charge me for the second install."

"Easy to contact and set up initial site visit and subsequent installation. Kevin returned for the initial start up and discovered a couple of issues related to the original wiring in the breaker boxes, which were corrected the same day. He was thorough and explained all processes as well as options. TopFlight's attention to detail is exceptional. The cost was/is comparable to other contractors and the workmanship was superb. Backup generators are not cheap, but well worth the peace of mind."

"The installation team was great. Both young men were polite, courteous, and thorough. They did a good job installing my furnace, and cleaned up nicely before they left. Martez explained the system to me and answered all my questions."

"They were exemplary! I've never owned a generator and after their visit, I already feel like a pro. The price was agreed upon during the first visit when they came to see exactly what needed to be done. (This first visit was without charge because of being an Angie's List member.) AFTER the electrical work was done, they not only took the time to teach me how to safely hook up the generator and manipulate the circuit box, but we did a full run through to make sure I knew how to do everything COMFORTABLY and to make sure we knew for a fact what I can and can't run when the next hurricane arrives. (They even took the generator from the box and assembled the last few items for me.) The best part was that I did not have to ask. THEY wanted to make sure I was completely comfortable so if/when the next hurricane arrives, getting power back to my house will be done quickly and with ease. I will definitely hire them again for any electrical need. They go well above and beyond for their customers."

Customers say: True professional

"Willards Electric responded to my request in record time. By the time I begin my day, they were contacting me with a quote and an explanation of costs. Alll electrical work was completed the SAME day of contact. They were thorough, patient in explaining what was happening, why it happened and the solution. I went to purchase the products that they needed to complete the job, and they were done within an hour. These Electricians are Highly competent, efficient, and thorough. They caught and corrected electrical issues that another Electrician botched, all while making us aware of a potential ant issue in the attic. They were extremely communicative of what they were doing and why and even bought Girl Scout cookies from my daughters before they left and left a cash donation. I can't recommend them highly enough. I feel so fortunate to have found them. If I am ever in need of any electrical work in the future, they will be the 1st electricians that I contact. Exceptional service!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

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.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
