"After originally contacting Home Advisor for electrical work a handyman from Handy which is apparently associated with HA came to my home. He attempted to install a new ceiling light fixture with a a new switch. He completed some of it. However when it came time to turn on the light it kept tripping the breaker. Seems that could be issue! Anyway he said he would be back the next day to resume the job. Well he never showed up. Shocker!! I re-contacted HA and they assured me that he would not be returning. They had Izzy Beard from Mr. Electric come out. Izzy first verified that everything electrical throughout the house was inspected and up to code. As he got into the other guyâ s work he was surprised to see such a sloppy and unprofessional job. One of the connections in the attic had even started to arc and melt. Izzy got everything right and was professional in doing so. I would recommend Mr.Electric and highly recommend Izzy for your electrical issues or projects."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

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.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two.
