"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."

"On time, professional and knowledgable. Could have sold me a top of the line battery but explained to me why a middle of the line for $100 less would be just as good. Keegan will be doing all my generator maintenance from now on. I highly recommend Keegan and Power Cross."

"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.

"Ed Riley is extremely knowledgeable about what causes lighting and how to protect from it. He explained to me which and how structures develop static electricity that lead to lighting discharges in a way that the physics made sense to me. They were also reasonably priced and kept their word. Definitely recommend them."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Before hiring an electrician, check out the contractor’s official website, read reviews, and look them up on your local Department of Labor’s website. If you’re hiring for a complex job, pay special attention to their level of expertise. Also, call up pros directly to ask about their insurance status, specifically liability insurance, and request customer references.

Many homes have a 200-amp service, which requires a 2-inch electrical meter riser. Larger homes or homes that require more energy for several appliances and devices may have a 400-amp service. For 400-amp service, opt for a 4-inch electrical meter riser.

Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity, but significantly less than central AC systems. Because they are more energy-efficient for cooling individual rooms or small spaces, their usage is comparatively low. On average, a window AC unit consumes between 500 and 1,400 watts, while a central AC system uses over 3,500 watts—meaning a window unit uses about one-third of the energy. This typically translates to a monthly running cost of $15 to $40, although this can vary depending on external factors.

Replacing your electrical meter box is critical because it helps prevent damage to your home’s electrical system or possible safety hazards. Plus, you won’t have to deal with frequent power tripping, flickering lights, or the scorched scents that an old or damaged meter box may cause.

They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.
