"Steve came out to look at the generator and showed us how we can turn the generator off. He went down to the utility room and discovered the AC was pulling the CO into the house through two vents. He recommended sealing off the vents the carbon monoxide was getting in through and this resolved the problem. Another company gave us a much more expensive fix which involved moving the generator. His assessment of the problem only cost us about $100. He was very patient with our questions and took time explaining everything to us. We would highly recommend him and we would hire him again."

"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."

"I hired Efficient Systems to deal with my water heater in the house I rent out near Garfield Park. The pilot light kept winking out when the burner would quit at the end of a heating cycle. I had pulled my hair out and spent most of three days trying to diagnose and repair the thing myself. They told me it was probably the massive amount of lime in the tank getting too hot and exuding more heat than the pilot light thermocouple could take. That made sense, and it was not worth trying to salvage that water heater, so I had them install a new one. They did it for a flat ~$1350 or so. They installed the water heater, but the two servicemen who came out had a bit of a disagreement about, I'm not sure, timing among other things. They reattached the old overflow pipe, which is too short for code. Also, in attaching the flue they managed to work some mortar patches out of the basement wall, which they left on the floor. The tenant complained to me about the mortar, and I asked them to deal with that and attach a longer overflow pipe, which they did. I have attached the photos that Efficient Systems gave me after the initial install, the photos from the tenant, and the photos after the second visit when they address the flue and overflow pipe problems. I also asked them to replace the old shutoff valve for the house that is aged to the point where it leaks for a while after being used, and while they were at it, to remove the old bypass valve to a departed water softener that some previous owner used to have. I wanted them to install a new shutoff valve with some threaded pipe so that someone in the future could install a new water softener with less trouble than if it was all sweat fitted. Well, they didn't come prepared to do it when they replaced the water heater. I went on a trip to the East Coast for a week, came back, responded to their email quote with specific instructions and a diagram of what I wanted, and got back this little lecture about needing to set up an appointment to come into the office and meet with so and so and then have someone come out and look at things to see how to set up a new bypass valve, which is definitely not what I asked. It was like they had no record of who I was or anything about what I'd already said I wanted. Rather a pain when they'd had two guys working on the water heater, which is literally 12 inches away from the shutoff and bypass, two weeks prior. It's pretty clearly not going to be worth the bother to have them do it at this point; I'll either do it myself or call a regular plumber, probably the former. In all, it seems like the water heater was right in their wheelhouse; simple plumbing modifications, not so much."

"Estimator was on time, thorough, and easy to schedule both the estimate and installation. Crew was professional and friendly. The estimator did identify a couple code issues related to a sub panel that the hot tub service would connect to and included fixing them with their quote for a very reasonable price. No other estimators identified the code concern. The final installation was very clean considering the location in relation to the main electrical service to the house. Installers walked through the work they completed after they finished and explained the operation of the outdoor electrical panel. They left extra long cable since the hot tub had not yet been installed to make sure the cable reached the final destination of the tub."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Combining generator installation with electrical panel upgrades, surge protection, or gas line improvements in Indianapolis can streamline your project and minimize disruptions. Many homeowners also coordinate backup power installation with drainage or landscaping work, especially during the city’s main construction season. Bundling these upgrades often leads to smoother scheduling and helps ensure your home is fully prepared for local weather challenges.

Helpful?

Generator installation in Indianapolis requires seasonal inspections, especially before tornado season and winter storms. Regularly check oil, batteries, and air filters, and keep the standby generator clear of leaves and snow. Monthly self-tests and annual professional servicing help ensure reliable emergency generator performance and compliance with local codes, which often require clearances and specific maintenance schedules unique to IN’s climate.

Helpful?

Your Indianapolis home is a strong candidate for generator installation if you experience frequent outages from Midwest storms, rely on backup power for medical needs, or have a sump pump due to local flooding risks. Homes with older electrical panels may require upgrades. Adequate yard space for proper standby generator clearance and access to natural gas lines are also key factors in Indianapolis neighborhoods.

Helpful?

In Indianapolis, common mistakes include overlooking local permit requirements, underestimating the size needed for a standby generator during Midwest storms, or placing the unit in areas prone to spring flooding. Some homeowners forget to coordinate with utility providers for gas line sizing or skip regular maintenance. Working with experienced local professionals helps avoid these issues and ensures your backup power system is reliable year-round.

Helpful?

In Indianapolis, be wary if a contractor avoids discussing required permits, skips a site visit, or offers a quote that’s unusually low. Watch for cash-only deals, vague timelines, or pressure to commit quickly—especially after severe weather. Make sure your installer understands local backup power codes and utility coordination, and always request references from recent generator installation projects in your area.
