"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!"

"This was my best experience with an electrical service while living at On Top Of The World. The response time was outstanding, the quote process was simple and free, and their rates were very reasonable. The technicians were knowledgeable, professional, resourceful, efficient, respectful, and tidy. While on site installing 2 ceiling fans and junction box, they even found a way to save me money compared to the original quote and to avoid drywall patching and wire molding. I’ll definitely rely on them for all my future electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

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.
