"William was prompt, set expectations and followed through and educated us on the need for a Surge Protector. He came for a quote but was able to install the EV charger quickly and cleanly same day. He is very knowledgeable about the EV market and was in and out quickly. Great experience all around. Highly recommend!!"
"The man is truly amazing. His work is outstanding. He installed a whole house Generac generator for me and has since become an authorized Generac dealer and serviceman. I had 4 different company's give me estimates and he blew them away with a great price and fast service. Big company's put me on their waiting list. Some were up to 10 weeks out. He completed the job in 3 weeks. His work is clean and neat. One of his best attributes is that he is HONEST and does all the work himself with the aid of a helper, so you know that the job is done right. He is fully licensed and insured. I feel like I have an electrician I can truly trust."
"Surge protector was installed. $198 was charged for a $30, 2 foot LED fluorescent light (purchased at Home Depot) which replaced the fixture on the ceiling that quit working (fixture was already wired in the ceiling). Large holes were left in the ceiling after installation."

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.
Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.
If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.
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.
Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
