"I had an excellent experience with Stephanie, Tim, and Spencer during the installation of my mini split system. From the very beginning, they were professional, friendly and communicative. They took the time to explain how the installation process would work and made sure I understood all the benefits of swtiching to the system. I felt well informed and supported. Since the installation, the system has made a huge difference in my hosuehold. The units are quiet, efficient, and give me the ability to control the temperature in all rooms in my household. Not only does it keep the space comftorable by replacing AC's but I've noticed the air quality and drop in my electricity bills are better. I"m grateful for the work this team did and would recommend them toothers. I trust them completely and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future again. Thank you!"

"Justin was awesome. Very proactive about calling me back and he was able to squeeze me in right away. He was also very flexible about the job. There were a couple things I had asked him specifically to do and then I asked for an additional outlet to be installed...he did it no problem. Great Experience!"

"One thing I really liked about his work was the attention to detail and he made sure things were done right, not just fast. He goes out of his way to make the installation easy to work on in the future if need be. And it is very neatly done."

"My solar inverter stopped working in my existing solar system, and since my original installer went out of business, I had a hard time finding someone to replace the inverter provided by SolarEdge. It was a small job, and most large companies weren’t interested, while those willing to help were booked out for at least a couple of months. I contacted Justin, and he replaced the inverter within just a few days. He was very friendly, efficient, and offered a very reasonable price. Justin was also extremely knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and kept me updated throughout the process. He arrived on time, completed the work neatly, and made sure the system was running perfectly before leaving. Overall, his professionalism, honesty, and dedication to customer satisfaction made the whole experience stress-free and smooth."

"We had Nathan from Ufema Electric complete a rewire of our entire finished basement. He provided a comprehensive estimate in a very timely fashion. The estimate was reasonable and Nathan was able to complete the job right away. We found him to be not only very skilled, but extremely polite, and respectful to our home - great job cleaning up after each workday! We are very happy with the results and will be using Ufema Electric in the future for any electrical needs. I would highly recommend Nathan and Ufema Electric."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

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.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.

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.
