"We had our electric box replaced, an outdoor light installed and an outdoor 50 amp outlet installed for our camper and electric vehicle. Greenleaf arrived on time and had everything done on time and in a professional and friend manner. Had some weather related issues but Greenleaf communicated everything and had everything rescheduled in a timely manner. Would highly recommend their service. Definitely using them for any future electrical needs."

"From start to finish, Long Electric had our backs. We didn't have to hire sub-contractors or to obtain permits -- Long Electric took care of everything. Our go-to person in the main office, Melissa, answered all of our questions and kept us apprised of everything we needed to know. Everyone we had contact with throughout the installation project treated us with the utmost in professionalism. Not only will I call upon them for future electrical needs, I have referred Long Electric to a friend who is also interested in a whole house generator."

"I had a wonderful experience with Electrical Connections. My project ended up being much larger than I anticipated it would be and they were excellent at explaining everything and helping me understand what needed to be done. Customer service was top notch and clearly a priority for everyone I talked to from the scheduler to the owner of the company. Brian was excellent and stayed until the job was done even though it made an extra long day for him. Highly recommended!"

"Lou showed up on time for the quote and won us over. We scheduled him to do the actual work and he was not the best at keeping appointments or notifying us if he could not make it. The work finally got done about two weeks after the original appointment. He was scheduled to return for some finishing details and final electrical inspection. Again several reschedules (he had not even been paid yet which really made me wonder. I am sure he was not going to work for free). Had to leave messages that normally went un-returned. He did finally return for the last details but still no final inspection (we did pay him on this visit). Began having an issue with one breaker. Scheduled him to check it. No show. Left messages, no return calls. So here we are a couple months after beginning this project, mostly happy with the work that was done but not happy about scheduling issues, lack of follow up and still no final inspection."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

Your outlet should be a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). These outlets will cut power off in the case of an electrical fire, keeping your home and family safe. Extension cords can also be GFCIs. A local electrician can replace older outlets with GFCIs, if necessary.

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.

To reset an electric fireplace, first shut the unit off using the control panel or remote control. Make sure the unit is entirely shut down, then unplug it from the power outlet. Wait five to 10 minutes, then plug the fireplace back in and turn it on. This process should reset the electric fireplace. After resetting, make sure to set the thermostat, timer, and other programmable settings to suit your preferences.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.
