"Getting a whole house generator is a huge investment so I shopped around and got 4 quotes because of the wide range of cost estimates. Other people said the cost "would be around" an amount, and Brandon gave me a detailed exact price. Had people tell me different things about where I could put the generator. Brandon came out and explained everything and said I could put the generator where I wanted it. His crews (electrical, gas) were professional, appeared to know exactly what they were doing, worked efficiently, and left the job site very clean. Brandon provided everything I wanted--he has a long track record of installing generators, has been in business for many years, offered a 10 yr warranty, offers an annual check-up plan, and made sure I was happy with everything."

"They call back the same day and was able to set up an appointment the very next day. They came out and did a complete diagnostic of my generac home standby generator and narrowed it down to two (2) parts. I was a little bit unsatisfied that they wasn’t able to narrow it down to the exact part . But overall I was happy with the service and the professionalism and would recommend them."

"Bernard Blanchard gave me an estimate for the work to be completed. He couldn't give me an exact dollar amount for the work under the house because the wiring was laying in mud, criss-crossed from the breaker box into every direction, without junction boxes and under pipes. After several estimates of hearing the same information we went with Bernard since he understood we wanted it done correctly but wanted to keep costs down. He worked with us in every way to make sure we were satisfied. He showed up on time every day and worked by himself for 6-8 hours a day. In the end, even though Bernard couldn't tell me how much the total job would cost on the penny because of materials and labor for under our house, he was only $125 off from his estimate. THAT RARELY HAPPENS with these types of extensive problems. I would like to mention that Bernard was very determined to get our power back on the day we switched breaker boxes by 4pm. Needless to say, we were very happy with his commitment to us to restore power within 5 - 6 hours, even though it was very difficult to do. All our food in our fridge/freezer was fine and we haven't had any problems. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this man's work.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, states and local governments can have additional building codes that address kitchen outlets. In most cases, these kitchen outlet codes simply refer to the NEC. However, states or local municipalities can have separate requirements for electrician licensing, such as requiring a permit to make big changes, and other details.

There are various reasons why an electrical outlet can stop working. You might have to do some detective work to understand whether it’s a problem with the attached appliance, the outlet itself, or a faulty breaker. Sometimes, old age or loose wiring are to blame; other times, it can be as simple as an overloaded circuit tripping the system and cutting power. If you’re troubleshooting doesn’t solve the mystery or repairs, or replacements are required, it’s time to call in the pros.

Wire color codes vary depending on the region. For instance, the United Kingdom has updated its wiring codes to match Europe's color system. The United States wiring color code is different, as is Australia's. Because the color code system isn’t universal, it’s essential to hire an experienced electrician to perform any electrical work to ensure it is done correctly.

It's recommended that you only use your circuit breaker for your water heater. Tacking on additional appliances, especially large ones like refrigerators, can overload the circuit and lead to electrical fires. Therefore, it's best to have separate circuits for each major appliance, particularly continuous load appliances, which use a lot of energy over prolonged periods of time.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
