"Harrison Electric, Inc completely understood my needs as a customer. I needed lights installed in an older home, not a sales song and dance. They came in, and focused specifically on what I WANTED to be done, and then provided a methodical assessment on what COULD be done in my older home. Together, then and there, we developed an installation plan that both met my needs without compromising the safety of the home, and at honest price that wasn't bloated with extra sales add-ons. I hired them on the spot, and they took care of all of my electrical needs that very same day. During the entire installation process, they were extremely respectful of my home, and periodically checked in with me to demonstrate progression of work. If you are recent homeowner, looking for an electrical company who understands efficiency of means, meaning, making minor lighting and switch updates without it costing you an arm and a leg, or bloating the quote with sales add-ons then Harrison Electric, Inc is the way to go. Highly recommend."

"We had a humidifier installed. They installed it quickly and professionally. The installer Jimmy was very helpful and even gave me a couple pointers in regards to installing a wifi thermostat. I've always had great experiences with Kath/Aquarius home services and will definitely use them again."

"Had a new ceiling fan installed in our front porch. Matt came and provided a quote with a couple options depending on what they found after the existing light fixture was removed. Communicated about their schedule and were very flexible with getting it on the calendar. Very happy with the process and end result!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

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.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two.
