"My outside left of house landscaping light would not come on after trying to install a replacement light. They determined my transformer was bad and gave the details of what model to purchase to replace it. Secondly I had to replace a salt generator for my pool but after **** so I couldn't get my pool lights to come back on. I tried everything I could think of but nothing worked. Luminous was very throw and determined it was my inside manual light switch that needed to be replaced. I would never thought about that since it was working fine before the salt generator was installed. I was very impressed with their expertise and thoroughness of their work. It was also helpful for me to go over all the steps that were taken in determining the resolution. I would use Luminous in a heartbeat again."

"I choose DSM Electric based on the reviews that I read here on Angie's List. I did not mention that I was an Angie's list member at the time of service. I can honestly say that Brad and Justin exceeded my expectations. I needed to have have an electrical outlet installed which, due to its location, necessitated cutting a hole in the drywall. Brad actually patched and speckled the hole and cleaned up the area. They were polite, professional and respective of our home. I will definitely be using DSM Electric again."

"Very happy with the work Neil did with the new generator outlet he installed. We now have whole home generator capabilities when needed. He showed us how the setup works with our generator. Everything works as it should. His pricing was by far the best we were quoted. Will contact him again should we need any other electrical work done. Recommended!!"

"Mike the tech was prompt courteous and knowledgeable. He gave me 2 options and the quotes for each, which were very reasonable, and he completed the installation of the panel for my generator the following week. I would definitely use them again."

"Have had them here on three occasions. Always prompt and knowledgeable. Pricing is fair and the work is first class. In addition to the charging station they have installed can lights, relocated wall switches, moved A/C thermostat and doorbell to an opposite wall and added an additional outdoor outlet by the pool."

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

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.
