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

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

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.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.
