"Good folks that give good work for what you are paying. Every other electrician I spoke with wanted double what these guys were charging just for installing a single doorbell. Well these guys were happy to do honest work for a fair price. I would definitely use them again."

"My experience working with Carlos at Enable Electric was seemless. Carlos was extremely attentive with communication, on time for visits and completed my electrical panel swap successfully. I highly recommend Enable Electric and will most definitely be hiring them again for additional projects in the very near future!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

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.
