"Kevin and Ariel were fantastic. They hung two pendant light fixtures for me and installed a dimmer. They were helpful in deciding the right height for the lights getting back on the ladder several times to get it just right. They also helped me with some problems that I was having with a tv installation that someone else had done that was just a bit off. I ll definitely call them again for other projects"

"Mitchell was able to get us in within a day or two of me calling! Him and his apprentice knocked it out of the park. He was on time, efficient and super knowledgeable. We had to do a whole house rewire with new electrical panel because it was a hazard and nothing was up to code! He had great communication and did everything we asked of him and the things we added last minute! He also asked me through things and explained what he was doing when I was on site. I would totally recommend him and look to him for future jobs! Added bonus.. he has nice hands writing for labeling our panel :)"

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.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.
