At just 24 years old, I started “Zach Costa Electrician” with nothing but determination and the drive to succeed. After six years working for a large company, I was laid off — and decided to take the leap and build something of my own. Today, I run a one-man electrical business built on trust, high-quality work, and strong communication. Being self-dependent has allowed me to take pride in every job I do, while also spending more time with my family — the real reason I do what I do. Whether it’s an emergency call or a full home wiring project, I treat every customer like a neighbor and every job like it’s my own home. Wired with pride. Grounded in values.

"Zac did an excellent job from start to finish. The quote and explanation of options were great. He was very clear about job expectations and a job completion time line. He supplied the appropriate materials requested for the job and was also very professional throughout the process. His price was reasonable and I would definitely hire him for future work. "

"Had the power riser cable replaced. The new cable needed to be in a conduit. Tyler came right away, assessed the job and provided a quote. We settled on a day for the work. The replacement was done in about 2.5 hours. He did a nice job! I would hire him again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

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. 

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.
