"I have been looking for a reasonably priced generator repair company for some time. The person who answered the phone was extremely courteous and seemed to go out of her way to help me with my service needs. Within 30 minutes the owner called back and based on my description of the problem was able to suggest a simple fix over the phone that I could do and which solved my problem. I will definitely call them for all my future needs."

"Outstanding experience. On time, took the time to educate me on the required maintenance of my 3-year old generator. Also installed remote monitoring hardware and tested it for me. Will use again."

"Ivan did a tremendous job installed my ceiling fans. Fast communication and did quality work. One of our fans needed some drywall ceiling work done and it looks fantastic, blended in perfectly into the ceiling. Greatly exceeded my expectations!"

Customers say: Quality work

"He did the job well but was not upfront about the final cost. He quoted us $200-$250 over the phone which we thought was a decent enough price so we hired him. However after he installed the fan, he charged us $350. I asked why the price went up $100 and he said it was because it took longer. If that wAs the case, and we were not getting charged a fixed rate, the he should have told us this from the get go."

"Bedroom outlet did not work because another electrician installed the ceiling fan incorrectly, A to Z corrected that problem. Also, fan was not working properly--changing speeds by itself. I obtained a new receiver from the manufacturer & A to Z installed the new receiver."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

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.

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.

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