"Supreme Electric was great. They showed up on time, worked quickly and swapped out the cheap plastic electric boxes and installed the ceiling fans we provided all while cleaning up and leaving no trace. I've had bad experiences before, but this was far different. We are very happy that such a small job was done promptly and done well. That can be hard to find these days. We will definitely hire again as we still need a few things done."

"I highly recommend CAP Electrical for all of your electrical needs! Not only do they do an outstanding job, but they are extremely friendly, customer service oriented, and honest. The day that Rod (President) came out to give me an estimate, I thought that I had a short in one of my kitchen light fixtures. Rod quickly pointed out that I was not using the right type of bulb in the fixture (non-dimmable bulb on a dimmable light). That display of honesty led to me hiring Rod and his guys for the rest of the work I needed done, and I'm very glad I did. They ended up installing recessed lights in my basement, a receptacle on my front porch, repairing switches in my main breaker panel, and fixed existing receptacles throughout my house. The electricians Rod sent were very personable and courteous. They worked very efficiently, and ensured that my satisfaction was their number one priority. As the electricians worked they informed me that some of the work that they did was not as involved as originally anticipated, which ultimately led to me saving money. Another display of honesty and customer service at its finest. In addition, CAP was very flexible when it came to scheduling a day to come out. If you're looking for a company that prioritizes customer service and is extremely honest then look no further than CAP electrical. They are very good people who work hard and do the right thing! I'm very pleased with the work that they did and I know you will be too."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

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.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.
