Owner operated with 20+ years of experience in residential, commercial and public works electrical projects. Low overhead business model allows for very competitive pricing along with honest, quality work performed to meet and exceed current building codes and to your satisfaction.

"Needed electrical wires rerouted, outlet moved, additional outlet installed. Chris came in and accomplished everything I needed and then some. As far as pricing, it was exactly on par with everything I had seen from other estimates, which was very reasonable. Something that I appreciate when taking estimates is transparency with what the cost included, and Chris provided that. What won me over was that he had a simple plan, didn't try to talk about things that I really didn't need, but he did bring up things that he knew I would need based on our conversation about my plans, which included 220 (had already been on my mind for a while). He went ahead and got that line ran with two outlets. Super helpful, and very friendly. He is also prompt and was willing to work with my schedule. I will be keeping his information for future use. I recommend Idaho Star Electrical without hesitation. I would post pictures, but 99% of his work is now covered up inside the walls of my garage."

We would highly recommend Freedom Electric, and should we need electrical work completed… would definitely reach out to Levi! We wish him the very best in his business!!"

We pride ourselves on completing quality work in a timely manner, ensuring the job is done right. For your electrical needs now and in the future, don't hesitate to reach out!

"I hired Josh because he was the electrical subcontractor on my new build home where I wanted to add a few items. Not only was he was able to leverage his familiarity with the house, but also he is keenly focused on service and satisfaction. He and his crew quickly and efficiently installed two new 220V circuits (one for an EV charger and a second for a hot tub), plus an additional soffit outlet to power an exterior retractable solar shade. He communicated clearly and consistently throughout. He also provided recommendations which resulted in savings (applying some DIY talents and use of products available on Amazon). I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again when I need electrician services and would recommend him to family and friends."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.

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.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.
