"The salesperson that came to look at the job/s was extremely professional. He helped me fix and overhead light and changed all of my kitchen recessed lights during our meeting. The price he quoted was $700.00 less then Mr. Electric. The work was completed the next day. They electricians were great. The only reason I didn't give an "A" on quality is because when they replaced a GFI with a new bright white switch, they left the old dingy ivory switch plate on it. It is a totally eye sore. i would have paid the extra for a new white switch plate. I didn't notice it until they left. I would have certainly said something. Great job over all. I would use again!"

"Anthony and his team do expert electrical work of all kinds. We are a 145 year old non-profit organization with buildings and grounds, and have contracted with Technician Engineers Group (TEG) on two large projects (and several small ones) over the last 15 years. One project rewired a large 125 year old building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and one installed an extensive outdoor lighting system. In these two unusual situations TEG worked closely with us to find innovative solutions to our unique needs. We are very pleased with the results, enjoyed their can-do approach, and highly recommend this company for any electrical challenge. We found TEG reliable, honest, on time, and all the work was completed ahead of schedule."

"Callahan Electric has been our choice for 6 years! Last week Cody replaced a ceiling mounting box, installed a new ceiling fan and replaced a wall switch. He was not happy with the quality of the provided plastic switch cover, so he installed an upgrade that matched the others in our home! Given the current situation, we were a bit apprehensive about having a contractor in our home. Our fears were put rest when Cody arrived in a mask (early, no less!) and explained Callahan's commitment to continued meticulous adherence to science-based guidelines during these challenging times. Callahan has provided stellar electrical expertise for projects ranging from a major "from the studs out" renovation of our home to installing a new ground fault receptacle at our pond and everything in between. They are, and will continue to be, our electrical contractor of choice."

"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!"

"An initial estimate/consultation appointment was set with James (owner).  He arrived on time.  We did a room by room of all the things I wanted done in the house.  We agreed that I would purchase the light fixtures, bulbs and GFI receptacles ahead of time.  He arrived on time for the installation and, all work was completed as discussed and explained to me afterward.  He gave me a fair price for and did a great job. I appreciate his honesty and would definitely hire him again in the future."

"Very courteous folks to deal with. They replaced the battery in my generator, so I really can't comment on the quality of their electrical work. I was a little surprised by the amount of the bill ($255.00). but that is the hourly rate for electricians these days, I guess."

"We needed our water heater replaced. It was somewhat complicated because we wanted to upgrade the tank in size, but we had limited room for it. There was some back and forth in finding the appropriate tank, but the salesperson and technicians were very pleasant to work with throughout the whole process. When the pipes were moved and the tank was installed, it was done efficiently and professionally. We are very happy with our experience and the final product."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

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.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

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.
