"Ben, the electrician who installed the fan was professional and efficient. He even wore cloth booties over his shoes and placed a drop cloth on the floor while he worked. Luminous had Ben return free of charge to inspect the noise issue when I complained the fan motor was louder than I expected. I am very pleased with their install and customer service. I would use Luminous again."

"My project involved installing new track lighting on a 14 ft sloped ceiling in my living room. Gabriel came to my home to quote the project. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about what needed to be done, as far as, establishing a power source for the new lighting, the connections to the light switch, even how the joists ran in the ceiling in order to thread new wiring. The quote seemed fair, so we scheduled the project. The day of the install Gabriel arrived with an associate and a 12 ft ladder in hand. They were able to thread the new wiring needed and installed the new track lighting. Once it was secured to the ceiling Gabriel worked with me to get the 6 individual lights pointing in the desired directions to achieve the best effect. They also were both very careful in re-installing an existing ceiling chandelier that they had taken down in order to connect the power source for the new track lighting. They did a great job, and I am very pleased with the results!"

"Henry was great. He arrived promptly, explained the work thoroughly, and worked cleanly and efficiently. Even when one of the smart switches I wanted installed didnâ t work, he waited for me to run to the store to pick up a new one. Excellent customer service!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done by this company! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The installation was done with great attention to detail, and everything looks absolutely amazing. The lights completely transformed my home—bright, clean, and beautifully placed. They also made sure everything was safe, up to code, and cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. If you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and skilled, I highly recommend them. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!"

"The technician, Marvin, arrived on time. It was a major ordeal for me but not to Marvin. He worked steadily and answered questions I had. The drywall had to be altered which was reattached expertly for patching. Very impressed that he used a level after installing new wall plate covers. He also went beyond and above ensuring the new kitchen LED was securely attached to the ceiling as well as correcting two other devices that I had failed to mention. The cost was very reasonable, especially with thr three-year parts and labor warranty included. I would definitely recommend this company. Thank you Mr. Marvin for making my home modern and in line with NEC regulations."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.
