"I have dealt with a lot of contractors. John from Elite Electrical actually shows up (and on time), is respectful, personable, and best of all he knows everything about his trade and did an AMAZING job inspecting and explaining. He was very clear about what needed to happen and pricing for all options. A simple generator outlet turned into a whole panel upgrade, but the original panel was hazardous and he showed me exactly why. He suggested and did not push extra. I would definitely refer and re-hire for more projects."

"If you want a company that does it right, this is the one. He corrected everything that was wrong so that when I’m ready to sell I know I will be at code. He has installed fans and lights, put in a wireless fire and carbon dioxide system, added a 120 plug for my kiln, and re-wired and updated grounding plugs and added new lighting to my garage. He is well versed in current codes, explains everything in layman’s terms, and checks his work more than once so you never have to call him back. He also can clean up old wires so you don’t have unnecessary wires in the way. I’ve worked with him for several years and I won’t call any one else!"

"They promptly installed two generators, one for each house, and walked through the app install. They called me a year later to schedule yearly maintenance. Great all the way around."

"We have a smoke alarm that is located 20 feet u from the floor. Several people declined to come out, including one that wanted $89 just to come and give us an estimate. The $89 did not apply toward the estimate if we accepted. Richard Riley, from Electrical Edge, had us text a picture and said he would be happy to do the job. He showed up on time and was very professional. We plan to use him on some other projects as well. Chris and Chuck Gibson Scotts, MI"

"Keith and Mike were wonderful. Great service and knowledgeable in their craft. The weather was terrible when they came to install my decorative outside shutters and they still got the job done in a timely manner. I will use them again and listen to their suggestions!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

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.
