"I engaged Sam Solberg, an independent contractor specializing in technical equipment installation and owner of GeoSync Communication, to install equipment at my residence. Upon arrival, Mr. Solberg appeared visibly displeased and offered minimal acknowledgment. I specifically requested installation at the roof peak to avoid obstructions. He dismissed this as a common misconception among non-technical individuals and insisted on placing the equipment at the side corner of the house. Since installation, I have experienced persistent WiFi connectivity issues. Diagnostic tools confirm signal obstruction caused by the adjacent roof peak. Multiple attempts to contact Mr. Solberg regarding relocation have gone unanswered. I strongly advise against retaining GeoSync Communication or Sam Solberg for any technical installation services.

"I hired Peder Power to install a new outlet and run low voltage wires for a doorbell. He provided a few options and the pricing was up front. They were timely, courteous, and the installation was flawless. I would fully recommend them!"

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.

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.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

Yes, whole-house generators run constantly for extended periods. Whole-house generators can run for longer periods of time than portable generators, but be careful. First, they may need regular applications of engine oil (as frequently as daily), depending on the engine design. Second, running constantly for several days will increase the wear and tear on the generator and shorten its lifespan.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more.
