"Thru the app. I contacted Wehrle Electric to get estimates on an Electric Service Panel update, and extior AC power supply to our House. Garret was Safe and on time for the appointment. We looked over the areas in need of work. He understood and explained how they would perform the new installation, and handle the inspection and permits. I was pleased with the estimate, best price out of three received. I voiced my concerns about the install, like no extra holes, clean looking, neat and solid. Assured my concerns were heard and addressed, we scheduled a date for the improvements. The installation day work starts on time. They were safe, knowledgeable, and professional. They were quite busy throughout the day and they cleaned up when all finished. Problems solved. Wehrle Electric did a Great Job! Quality workmanship, priced Right! I recommend and will call Garret again for my Electrical needs. Thanks"

"I renovated my kitchen and had to upgrade the electric to accommodate the dishwasher and upgraded appliances. Andrew rewired the kitchen, moved several outlets, and made upgrades in the electrical box. He priced it fairly and completed the work on time and to code. He was also polite, friendly, and cleaned up after himself. His work was excellent."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

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 need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.
