"A list of the items to be addressed were enumerated with the scheduler over the phone. A $19 trip charge was non-refundable. The tech would assess my needs and provide an estimate on site. Any service that I elected to go forward with would be started the same day or scheduled depending on the complexity of the job. If the latter applied, an additional $19 trip charge would apply on subsequent visits. When the electrician arrived, I showed him the schematic sheet and installation manual to my ceiling fan and the unopened universal 3 speed wall mount ceiling fan control with built in dimmer (and transmitter) that I purchased from the home improvement store. I explained that the transmitter in the ceiling fan had 6 speeds and asked if would work. The Electrician opened the packaging examined the device and looked at my ceiling fan installation manuals. He said that he could do it and just have operate on a slow, medium, fast speed ( i would lose 2 speeds). He then examined my light fixture. I explained that there was a liberal amount of cord stuff under the light mount cap to drop the ceiling fan lower. He said this was doable. I reviewed my objective of switching out the existing static light at the front door with a motion sensor light. He said he would provide an estimate. Lastly we examined the unopened Outlets with USB charge fixtures purchased from the home improvement store. I explained that the existing power outlets operated on a half switch system and that my objective was to continue to operate the connected lamps from the wall switch while the lower portion of the outlet remained on all of the time (ergo a half switch). He said it was doable. The estimate was presented for 3 out out 4 of my job requests. It did not include the sensor light at the front door. The estimate did include parts and installation of a home surge protector. I elected to move forward with the lowering of the fixture, installation of the ceiling fan wall control, and the installation of the USB outlets. The electrician spent most of his time working on the ceiling fan. He could not do the job because he realized that the 3 speed wall control was incompatible with Ceiling fan. He then moved onto lowering the light fixture. To do this he completely dismantled the wiring, removed the fixture and rehung it. I could not understand this process since the extra wiring was coiled under the plate for the purpose of pulling it down as needed. Ultimately the objective was met. My light fixture was lowered. The Electrician realized after removing the existing outlets that the usb outlets were not designed to function on a half switch system. At the end of the service call I received a bill to install a ceiling fan in the amount of $127. I questioned this since this service was not performed. The Electrician explained that he did not have a service (code) to lower a light fixture."

Thank you and have a great day!

"I contacted Small Jobs Electric to hang six ceiling fans and two outdoor lights. Scheduling was easy. The office staff is attentive and really easy to talk to. I scheduled the work and the job required two electricians. Luis and Antonio were a pleasure to work with. They showed up exactly on time and got right to work. I have an electrical background and these gentlemen are obviously well trained and very well educated in their craft. That is an excellent reflection on not only Luis and Antonio, but your entire organization. The fans look great the lights look great. I am very happy I did this project. The name is small jobs but they seem quite capable of handling almost any electrical job. Thank you all !! Thanks Angi !!!"

"We replaced the original roof on our house. I expressed my concerns about re-installation of the lightening rods to my roofer. We have had at least three direct hits since they were originally installed in 2013. My roofer called William who was very helpful. William offered to come out an make sure everything was 100% after re-installation. He came the day after I called and I'm glad he did. While the reinstall was the best he had seen (his words) there were issues after 5 year and 3 strikes that needed addressed. He fixed those and now I have a new roof and I am certain the lightening rods will work as intended. Highly recommend this company."

"In May of 2023 I had a system installed. When hurricane Milton ? came through the system failed. Called for emergency repair. Was told for an upfront payment, a technician would arrive within 48 hours. Technician did not come. After repeated calls. I was told because of an over abundance of calls I was pushed back a week. Duke Energy restored power to our home before Genrex came by. Mind you the Generx is supposed to perform during emergency. Now to get a service for a annual check up, to maintain warranty. Was told my last service person used superior parts. Why would they not supply quality products initially? I am very unhappy with Generx. I will not recommend Generx. In fact I will strongly advocate against this company to family and friends. "

Generator installations FAQs

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:

  • Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000

  • Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300

  • Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:

  • Experience frequent or prolonged power outages

  • Work from home

  • Store a lot of cold food

  • Have a sump pump

  • Have a pump for well water

  • Use electronic medical devices

  • Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
