"When I was looking for an electrician power up, turned out to be the easiest and quickest way to find an electrician that I needed. They worked with me with a schedule that allowed me to continue daily activities and events I was still able to get what I needed done in a week’s time. I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I have a new outlet in my master bath and I have new smoke detectors along with carbon monoxide. I would certainly refer anyone to power up."

"Trent from Hoekstra Electric did a great job at installing some new outlets for me in my office in my basement. I had called to inquire about if it would be possible to get outlets in my office and a rough idea on what it would cost. When Trent showed up, he offered to get them installed for me right then and there - totally awesome!! It is been amazing having more spaces to hook my different machines into. Not only was Hoekstra Electric able to get to my issue fast, they were also super kind and very professional. I would definitely recommend them!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
