"I called in the morning to set appt for an estimate. Eli was busy and asked if he could contact me later. Mike returned my call in the afternoon. I told him that neither of the old fixtures were working and that was my only source of light in there. He asked that I text him with photos of my old fixtures and pics of my new light fixtures to be installed. Once I did that, he contacted me back, quoted me a price and he could come out that afternoon. When he arrived he was very courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to explain what he had to do. He had no problem answering all my questions. It was NOT an easy job because of the small working space and tight measurements to install the new fixtures. He was so patient and made sure the job was done right!!! He cleaned up everything after he was thru and now I have 2 beautiful new lights that I really love. I am extremely pleased with his work. I have a few more projects that I will have him work on in the future. For those of us that just have these smaller jobs that needs attention, I would highly recommend 3 Phase Electric .

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.
