"I had two sets of LED lights that were working, but not to their full power. Cameron came over, tested the wattage, tested everything that he could, and basically explain that I needed new fixtures. In that same period of time, he also checked on another fixture upstairs that we wanted replaced, but were unsure of how long it would take or what the cost would be. He was extremely kind in explaining all of his work and that the consult for this visit would be included in the billing of the next visit as he unable to resolve the problem in the first trip. The next time Cameron came, it took him hardly anytime to get all three fixtures put in. I am extremely impressed with his efficiency, communication, and attention to detail in his work. He is a meticulous and mindful person, and is very skilled in his craft. I will definitely be recommending this electrical company to friends and family, as I feel very confident in their work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.
