As a small business owner I am the only employee of this company, which I hope to someday pass down to my sons. Jobs are billed differently depending on the size. Customers are charged in two ways; either by the hour, or with a bid total. Often times the bid is a better option for the customer, which allows them to plan ahead. We accept cash, check, & all major credit cards.

"We were really pleased with Warkins and would use him again in the future as well as recommend him to other’s seeking an electrician in the greater Rockford area. We provided a list of items including replacing light switches that were malfunctioning, new outlet installation in an unfinished basement, outlet installation in a bathroom for a bidet, hardwiring a Ring doorbell, replacing all old hardwired smoke alarms, and troubleshooting/ replacing malfunctioning/ non-functional outlets. Rob was pleasant, communicative, and we were pleased with the price. One thing that really impressed me is that we were told several years ago that we would need an additional box if we added additional outlets. After looking at our box, he assured me that we had plenty of space and we wouldn’t need an additional box. I was really impressed with his honesty and integrity as he could have easily taken advantage of our lack of knowledge and fear when it came to electrical around the house!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
