"I can tell you in three words..”EXCELLENT EXCELLENT and EXCELLENT!” Best service ever! They treated me as if they had known me for years. They had no problem with me asking questions at all. While they were working they continued to explain exactly what they were doing and why. They checked and double checked their work. Out of a scale of 1 - 10 I give Ensign Electric 100!"

I’m the man behind Hard Stop Handyman — “Your last call for repairs.”\n\nI spent 15 years in the military, where doing the job right the first time wasn’t optional — it was expected. I’ve carried that same standard into every home I work on.\n\nI don’t cut corners. I don’t leave jobs halfway done. And I don’t believe in temporary fixes.\n\nWhen I show up, the goal is simple: fix it once so you don’t have to deal with it again.\n\nIf you’re tired of chasing unreliable contractors or redoing the same repairs over and over, I’m your last call.\n

"Preston did an excellent job for our back porch. He installed 3 outlets, a switch and a ceiling fan applicator for me and my wife and everything has worked perfectly ever since he did it for us. He was nice and thorough with his work and will be there if you see any issues. Very dependable and takes pride in his work! I will definitely hire him again for any electrical work that is needed at my residence!"

"This past winter during the coldest time, Pro/Austin went over and beyond his duty to totally transform my electrical box (way outdated) to an updated box which is located outside. The box itself took up almost a wall in my half bathroom, now I have plenty of room in the bath. I'm having no problems with the lighting that flickered before. Thank you Austin I would highly recommend you for any electrical work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

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. 

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.
