"Great company to work with. Wonderful staff and clear explanations every step of the way. Did everything they said they would do when they said they would do it. Very tidy and no mess despite having to excavate to put in the oil tank for the generator. Installation was done quickly and efficiently. Two years later all working very well and good annual service agreement. Would absolutely work with this company again and recommend them to anyone."

"Tough outdoor location to install a Tesla EV charger, but he got it done with exceptional attention to detail. It looks great. Communication was excellent throughout the process. He proposed multiple installation options."

"Power line outside my house got struck by lightning last weekend & exploded the cable bringing power into the house....very dangerous. Matt and his assistant came out right away and replaced my entire electrical system, breaker box etc.....as well as the outside equipment. I have NEVER been more impressed with a contractor and would highly recommend him to anyone. He is a very nice human being to boot!!!"

"Jason and his team with Cotti-Johnson did an excellent job updating our electrical boxes, installing the washer/dryer hookup, and getting us setup with a generator! Sam, our assigned electrician, even took the time to go through the entire operation of the generator from A-Z. I would definitely recommend them for any electrical work!"

"Expensive but professional. The electrician that did the work was excellent and seemed.to enjoy explaining what he was doing and why it had to be done that way. I felt like I learned something while he installed ceiling lights. He also cleaned up after himself like he'd never been there."

"We initially called a different electrician who said he would come by at the end of the day to assess what was needed to be done in our home. Not only did he not show up, but he never called us to schedule the work. After waiting 3 days, we called Anthony and left a voice message. Anthony returned our call the next morning, and scheduled to do the electrical work the very next day. Anthony and his worker showed up on time and figured out the electrical problem within minutes. They did an excellent job installing new wiring. They were very professional, courteous, and respectful of our home. We're glad the initial electrician never showed up because we have definitely found our new electrician for any future electrical needs. We highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a professional electrician. Thank you, Anthony!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

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.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.
