Customers say: Quality work

"Les Kennell called me back and came to the house to give me a quote for the job the very same day I inquired about him. After getting one other quote, which was more than twice the quote given by Mr. Kennell, I called him and he was able to install an electrical outlet in my half bath in a couple days time. I was very satisfied with his work!"

"Luis was absolutely phenomenal. He installed for us a 240volt connection in our garage for our electric car. He gave us the best price, was on time, very professional, and took the time to explain everything to us before and during the process of installation. Incredible, meticulous work. Thank you Luis."

"First of all, Manny was on time and as polite in person as over the phone. Manny worked very conscientiously from the start to the finish of both of my projects. He takes doing a good job seriously and is very efficient. I am fully comfortable with giving his name and number out to friends and family. I've already given it to my employer. In the future, I plan on calling them for all electrical needs. The price compared well with others in the area."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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

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.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.
