"They installed outdoor soffit lights around my house as well as installing the electrical for my portable generator. Note: they did a great job and I would hire them again. Just letting other possible customers know that the lights are really bright. I am going to install a dimmer switch so on nights I want them less bright I can just lower them. Very pleased. Great guys."

"Cloverleaf Electric, LLC. It was a pleasure working with Shawn and his crew the beginning of November 2023. I called Cloverleaf Electric because I was having health issues associated with the strong WIFI signal that was coming into our home. Our internet provider was not helpful at all. I found Cloverleaf Electric on Home Advisor. I explained to Shawn that I am WIFI sensitive and that I wanted to move our WIFI box to another area of our house, so the signal was not so strong. I told Shawn that I have been using 100-foot Ethernet cords running from our modem to the tv and computer. Shawn was very knowledgeable and explained how his team would be able to fish Ethernet cables though the walls and our crawl space for internet hook up. The job was not easy because we have a finished basement. Shawn and his crew did an excellent job. They showed up on time, cleaned up before they left, moved the modem to the basement, installed Ethernet cables in various places in the house, and added a smart hub for the extra cable lines. I also asked them to install four new outdoor lights. The crew was professional, hardworking, knowledgeable and had great communication skills. I would highly recommend Cloverleaf for any electrical work that you need done in your home. J. K. Canton, Michigan"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
