"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."

The atmosphere created was warm and friendly while they worked. Everything was explained to me with an offer to call or email if I needed any help at any time. Everything was left clean and tidy!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

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

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. 

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.
