"I ordered a Murphy bed from Wayfair that was far more difficult for me to assemble than I thought. Jehu Solis provided a reasonable bid, arrived on time, worked diligently, and, most importantly, did a fantastic job. I would rehire him again."

"The team from Mormat were quick to setup and get started on the job.  It was a cold day to be replacing the door so I was happy to see that they took the time to get as much of the prep work ready as they could before they began to take the existing door down.  Once they got started they let us know what they would be doing, and they began the tear down.  There was a lot of rotting wood around the old frame, and the walls were a mixture of the dry wall and weather worn cinder blocks.  Everything was a mess, but kept the debris to a minimum which was great since we had to pass by the area several times while they worked to do chores while they worked.  Overall the finished install was amazing for the door and I'm pretty sure it's the sturdiest structure in the house.
The electrical panel in my home was outdated and needed to be replaced as well which they assisted with.  When we moved in we found that not only did the panel need to be replaced but we weren't quite sure what breaker went where.  The team from Mormat took the time to not only replace the panel, but also to make sure I knew where everything went.  I now have a clearly labeled panel, which makes things so much easier whenever I need to do work that I feel comfortable doing, safely.
I have had the experience to use their services for the company I work for, and it was great to see that the professionalism and detail they bring to an office space they also offer to their residential jobs.  Given the broad range of skills I have seen their team employ, there will be no doubt that I will continue to use their services for any of my major projects in my new home."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

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.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
