"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."

"CSA installed a custom home theater, a ELK security & automation system, a driveway gate system with intercom, Russound whole house audio/intercom system in 12 different rooms, Lutron Radio RA lighting control system and 12 cameras on exterior of our house. I m extremely impressed with CSA from our first walk through, the design build they put together, the options they proposed to my wife and myself and how Chad kept it as simple as possible when presenting what our system was capable of doing. It s overwhelming but he did a fantastic job to try and keep it in Lameon terms. From the pre-wire to day of final completion CSA went above and beyond our expectations. You can truly tell they love what they do and have a passion for it. When our house was completely finished CSA was the last contractor to finish do to everything in our house is automated and controlled through our wall touchscreens, laptops and mobile devices. We can open our entry or exit driveway gates from our house phone, touchscreens or any mobile device that CSA installed a custom built app on. While we re home or anywhere in the world as long as we have 4g or WiFi. All of our exterior lights are set up to be at our desired level from dusk to dawn and when anyone walks past any camera at night the light level of the closet light brightens for a few minutes and after camera no longer detects motion level goes back down. It s just amazing what this system can do. We have our main front door locks, side entry garage door lock and all 4 of our garage doors all controlled by this system and if a door is opened and we re not within 1000 yards of our home we re notified. We couldn t be more pleased with the job CSA did and most of all the time they took to train us on how to use and control every aspect of our whole smart home. Thank you again CSA. We highly recommend anyone in the need of security, audio & video and home automation needs to contact CSA. We had 3 other A/v automation contractors do drawings and pricing proposals and what stood out the most with CSA is the options we were given, the time they spent with us on making sure we were aware of what they were capable of doing and providing us with 3 separate pricing options from platinum to silver. They were the only contractor that did that. This was our final home we will build and CSA knew how special this dream home meant to us so thank you again CSA for going above and beyond from start to finish."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.
