"My house is not young. With every little hiccup that cropped up, Dave Gill maintained safe practice while working with me to see I got what I needed, and went well above and beyond, when it came to being considerate, even doing little 'extras' I have never received from an electrician before!"

"I was pleasantly surprised at their careful and thorough approach to the installation. They also were the most competitive bid with Cropp Metcalf being $3000 higher with less equipment. They are a local gem in a crowded field which should not be overlooked by savvy consumers"

"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."

"It went very well, he is a licensed electrician and he changed all of my old s12 sockets to energy efficient sockets so that I could use my electronic devices and not blow circuits.  I was being charged each time I called in a help ticket.  So I called Mason Electrical Services and had him come out and take a look . He came out and took a look at the problem and gave me an estimate .and I was really satisfied on the price.  He arrived promptly on 8 March 2014 had everything he needed to work with, and completed the work it only took a couple of hours and the job was done.  In that time he installed a ceiling fan in my bedroom with a remote.  He didn't make a mess.  I would definitely recommend him to others needing electrical services in the future.

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

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

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
