"If I could give less than 1 star I would. Here’s my story….Moved to Florida 3 years ago from the Northeast. Needed a generator so I narrowed it down to 2 venders from Google reviews...Reliable Power Systems and APS. Prices came in about the same, sales people were both likable, it was a coin toss who to use. I chose poorly. It took 8 months to get my generator installed (COVID shortages, not Reliable’s fault). Reliable has a nice on-line system where you can check the status of your install through the whole process. The installation went smoothly - so no problems there (although, they did leave a bit of a mess in my garage, made some holes in my drywall that they wouldn't patch etc. but no big deal). After the install, I immediately sign up for the yearly maintenance agreement with them. Fast forward 8 months later and here’s where my problems start. I have 10 guests visiting me and staying at my house (of course this is when I have problems) and one morning the electric in the kitchen, the hot water heater, the a/c and pool pumps aren't working. The circuit breakers appear all fine and everything else in the house is working. I notice blinking lights on the generator module and so I call Reliable. I explain what’s going on, I tell them I have 10 house guests. Reliable tells me they can’t make it out to my house for 2 weeks. TWO WEEKS. I’m like, how is that possible? It’s March, it’s not even hurricane season. There hasn't been any storms, it’s literally a normal time of year. I tell them I have a maintenance contract with them. They don’t care. TWO WEEKS. I ask to speak to a manager. Two hours later the manager calls me back, says he can fit me in the schedule in 6 days. SIX DAYS (which is 2 days after my guests will have left). Now, what the Reliable manager doesn't know is that in the two hours time between my first call to Reliable and his return call to me I have called my electrician in a panic. I have 10 house guests I can’t cook for, who came to Florida and now can’t use the pool or hot tub, and it’s getting warm in the house. My electrician says “Reliable is the worst, call APS”. So, I call APS. Now, I am not APS’s customer. I did NOT just spend $40,000 with them 8 months prior to purchase and install a generator. In fact, I’m the one who asked for a quote and then didn't even use them. I am no one to them. What does APS tell me? “We’ll be out in an hour”. An hour later they arrive, 15 mins after that they have re-booted my module and suggest that if it happens again that they replace it. APS’s technician had come to my house, fixed the issue and left before I even got a return phone call from Reliable’s manager telling me that he “could fit me in his schedule in 6 days”. I explained to the manager that I had called his competition and that they had already come out and fixed it. The manager told me that “Reliable has a lot of more important customers that take priority over you, like hospitals etc and we always service them first.” Ok, Hospitals are important. But six days in a non-emergency time of year to get a 15 minute repair? How long of a wait will it be during hurricane season? And no customer likes to be told that they basically aren't important—especially after just spending $40,000. I tell the manager this, and that I’m going to leave them a bad review. His reply “We have lots of good reviews, one bad review isn’t going to hurt us”. Hmmm. Are you getting a clear picture of what kind of company Reliable Power Systems is? Do yourself a service and hire Assurance Power Systems from the get go. I now have my maintenance contact with APS and they have continued to provide me with excellent and timely service."

"Project went longer than would have liked due to parts and staffing issues but was completed in the timeframe that had been stated upfront. Once the work began, I was informed of the process and general timing of events; all was done per schedule and plan. Once the work was completed, JP came out to do the startup and showed me what to do and what to expect. Kevin then came out with the county inspector to finalize the whole process; he was able to answer some additional questions I had. Overall, this was an easy experience and everyone from the office to the people doing the work were very helpful and easy to work with."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A faulty light switch can trip a breaker due to circuit overload or a short circuit. A faulty light switch may not always trip a breaker, so don’t use that as your only sign that something’s wrong. Always investigate the cause of a switch that isn’t working properly, feels hot to the touch, or is making unusual noises.

While it’s not mandatory unless you’re purchasing a home, it is important to schedule regular home electrical inspections for safety and to maintain your house’s value. Inspections can reduce fire risk and can help save money on insurance premiums. They can also catch problems before they start, saving money on repairs down the line.

You may be able to power some smart thermostats without a C-wire, but these may “steal” power from other appliances, or generally not work as well. If you’re committed to the high-tech life, adding a C-wire for your smart thermostat is likely a wise investment that can make everything run a lot more smoothly.

You can convert a gas heater to electric, but it isn’t as simple as swapping a plug or two. First of all, you need to make sure there’s adequate power to the unit, as electric units require much higher power amounts versus gas. Then, you need to close off the gas lines and ventilation. Make sure you don’t also need a permit for an electric water heater—some cities require it. Making the switch can cost upwards of $1,500.

On average, the cost to run electricity to an above ground pool is about $1,000. Certain factors can increase or cut these costs. For example, a larger pool or one farther from your house may require additional trenching for wiring, bringing costs as high as $4,000. On the other hand, a standard-sized pool closer to your home may only cost $350 to hook up to electricity.
