"Our experience with Energy Select and the installation of our solar panels was outstanding! They are extremely knowledgeable about the products and what the products can do for your renewable energy desires. Their team worked hand in hand with us during the entire process and even helped us apply for grants with the USDA. We were in contact almost daily. If we had any questions or concerns, they were addressed immediately. Honestly, it felt like we were working together as a team during the entire process which made things seem almost effortless. The installation went smooth and was completed much faster than we anticipated. Our solar panels are now generating more energy than we even use. We highly recommend Energy Select for your solar panel needs!"

"Murphy's Family Services should never be hired for electrical work. They are a company that cuts corners and takes advantage of its customers. Before writing this review, I made multiple attempts to contact Murphy's Family Services. When they finally answered and I asked if them if they had a minute to talk to me, they said “no” and hung up. This is the level of service Murphy has to offer. I hired Murphy's Family Services for a full day of service on August 7th, 2020. Based on the previous reviews, I expected a professional that could do things in a safe and timely manner. Unfortunately, I ended up with incredibly slow service, multiple electrical code violations, and a complete lack of professionalism. The day started with the electrician coming an hour late. Luckily, I currently work from home so I was able to greet them at the door and run through everything I needed to have done. He told me everything was good and got to work. After only working for three hours, the electrician walked over and informed me he didn't have the right supplies for the rest of the work so I would either need to cut the visit short (half a day) or pay for his time while he was out shopping for the supplies. This was a big red flag for me because we had gone through the list upon arrival so he knew at the start he did not have the supplies but stayed quiet. Also, one day of electrical work was a much better deal than doing two half a day ($929 versus $764). I was at a meeting for work during this conversation so I didn't have time to really talk this through with him. I just told him that he needed to finish the basement light (since that was a high priority and still not started) and that I would call to discuss if I wanted to do the rest of the work another day. The work completed in a four hour period: * Replace a two-wire (ungrounded) electrical outlet with a three-prong - I told the electrician I wanted a GFCI outlet put in but he told me this was unnecessary and installed a grounded, three-wire electrical outlet where there is no ground to connect to. This was the first National Electrical Code (NEC) violation. * Replace an improperly installed light fixture in the basement with a proper one - The previous homeowners had improperly installed a hanging fluorescent light so I asked my electrician to take that light down and put in an outlet so that the new light could be installed correctly. The new light was a LED shop light with a cord. The electrician ignored my instructions and cut the cord, hard-writing the light into an electrical junction box. This is the second NEC code violation. To get this fixed, I will have to buy a 3rd light fixture since the cord has been cut. * Replace a ceiling fan in my bedroom - This was done very poorly. For one, the electrician forgot to connect my light switch to the fan so now the light/fan can only be controlled via pull chain (my light switch does nothing). - I also noticed that the ceiling fan swings quite a bit and had another electrician took a look for me during an estimate, they told me that I didn't have a fan rated box installed and there was a risk of the fan falling on us when we were sleeping. This was the third NEC code violation. * Add an electrical outlet a foot away from an existing outlet - The outlet seems to work but I'm hesitant to use it because everything else was done incorrectly. Do not hire Murphy's Family Services for any electrical work!"

Weisman Electric Company is a local, multi-generation family-owned and operated electrical contractor based in Annapolis, MD. Our longstanding history of serving the local Anne Arundel County community and surrounding Maryland areas for nearly 40 years has catapulted us to be the Maryland region’s premier Electrical Contractor but at our core we are still your local electrician. We specialize in both residential and commercial electric. We are also one of the area’s largest supplier, dealer and installer for home standby generators. Please visit our website (www.weismanelectric.com) for a comprehensive list of services.

"I have used this company for years and been very happy with their work. A tech and his helper recently came to replace a bath exhaust fan. They had to go up to the attic to complete the installation. After they left, I noticed that the helper had put his foot through the ceiling of the room next to the bathroom. I contacted the company and sent pictures. I was told that they did not pay for damage caused by their employees. The gentleman pointed out that ”the crack was not that bad anyway.“ (The crack was three feet long.) The bath exhaust fan works well, but I will not be using them in the future."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.

The typical cost of a home generator is around $5,000, but prices range from $400 up to $13,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factor is the generator size, as larger generators that can support more square footage usually cost more. You can install an emergency backup generator for between $500 and $2,000 or a partial-home generator for between $2,000 and $6,500. Whole-home generators usually total between $5,000 and $13,000, with some models climbing as high as $18,000.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages at $5,200, but costs can range from $1,500 to $8,900, depending on the type and size of the generator, and the labor required to install it. To find the best deal while still ensuring the unit meets all the needs of your household, hire an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your must-have appliances and electronics beforehand so you don’t pay for more power than you need. As always, be sure to get at least three quotes to find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.
