"The electrician came to the door without a mask. Not realizing that the company apparently has no protection policies in place for its customers, I didn't ask him if he was vaccinated until he was leaving the house. He bragged that he, his family and friends are all unvaccinated. At a time when a virulently contagious Covid variant is making many people sick, the company should have a strict policy requiring its employees to wear masks and, if possible, be vaccinated before entering a customer's house. When I expressed my concerns to the manager, she hung up on me. I will never hire JPS again."

"First let me say that Brad (owner) and Dave are extremely professional and they are experts in their field. Not only did they do they work, they explained exactly what they were doing, how they were going to do it and presented me with options where available. After the work was completed, I noticed the following week that one of the remotes was turning on a fan in another room. I contacted Brad and he responded almost immediately with a few options for me to try. That didn’t work, so they squeezed me in the schedule and Dave came out the very next day and took care of the issue. I have heard about this happening with installations, but sometimes the issue isn’t resolved, well that definitely wasn’t my case. Easy, peasy fix for them. Then fast forward a week or two post this job, we had a dishwasher being installed. My plumber stated that I needed a “junction box” (hmmm electrician) before they could install the new dishwasher because the cord was much shorter than my previous washer. So I contacted Brad to see if they could take a look even though my plumbing company said they could send someone to install the “box.” Personally if it’s an electrical issue, I would rather an electrician take a look. Brad said they would try to squeeze me in. Well they came out the very next Monday (today) and he saw immediately that not only did I need a “junction box”, new coding says that an electrical outlet should be installed under the kitchen sink. So guess what? In an hour everything was done. Oh, and unlike what the plumbing company told me there was no “junction box” needed in my basement. How’s that for service? Bottom line, when a job calls for an electrician, skip the hassle, and go for a reputable one, like Mattlin Electric. Give Brad a call today!!! You will not regret it."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
