"Highly recommend FUSE Electric! Nate showed up on time, was easy to communicate with, and did a great job. Everything was done professionally and the pricing was very fair. FUSE Electric may be a newer company, but Nate has been doing electrical work for decades and it definitely shows. It was a great experience all around and we’ll definitely call him again for any future electrical work."

"We needed a bath fan/light installed to replace a bath fan only, which also meant adding a switch; plus outside and inside outlets. Levi was great to work with! He was here when scheduled. His attention to detail and cleanup went above and beyond. Levi was respectful, friendly, and even wore foot covering inside our home. He would tell me when the tools would be loud. 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!!"

"Sean does a great job. He has helped me on numerous projects, including installing outlets and switches, programming smart Lutron switches, installing ceiling fans, installing 12 and 24 volt tape lighting, installing outdoor outlets in my yard, etc. He is very knowledgeable, works efficiently, has reasonable prices, and is honest and fair. As a solo electrician, his charges are far less than what you would expect from a larger company. I could not recommend an electrician more highly than Sean."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

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 if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

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

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.
