Locally owned. No subs. Cost is determined by the job. Travel charges may apply. Extra charges for after hours service. Ask about Angie's List discount. Also services portions of Madison County. Award winning. Additional phone - (317) 834-1922.

"Mike Allen quoted $1600 upgrade my outdoor wiring for an Outdoor Kitchen project next to our inground pool. The job scope included pulling a new 100 amp supply line, replace old wadsworth panel, trace and identify each circuit, install GFCI per code for the pool/spa circuits and wire additional outlets poolside for an Outdoor Kitchen project. Job scope also included moving a water heater circuit to another subpanel. Pat showed up promptly to do the work, completed the water heater circuit, pulled the new supply line, installed new subpanel and leaves with the Outdoor Kitchen circuits incomplete and exposed to weather. Pat called and indicated he would stop back in a couple days though never returned to finish the job. I had to finish the wiring for the poolside outlets so that my family could use the pool safely. I paid White's Electric for electical work I assumed was done per code. I now understand White's Electric installed AFCI breakers in all the pool circuits because they said there is not a dedicated neutral. I recognize this can be a problem with older homes. However, I consider it unprofessional and unacceptable for White's Electric to deceptively install AFCI circuit breakers that do not comply with code and not inform the home owner. I will be following up with the Better Business Bureau and pursuing White's Electric to make right on the poor quality work completed so far."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
