"Installed a new furnace for us during the winter when we needed it the most. They were able to install it 2 days after we asked for them to service our old existing furnace in which they showed us why it needed to be replaced. Quick and clean instillation with two knowledgeable and friendly employees."

"My house is 30 years, and the work was to involve modifications to the main electrical service panel. This company's approach is to first have the homeowner agree to any one of 3 charges for an electrical evaluation of the panel and several circuits; the 3 offered charges would include either 1, 2, or 3 fixes, one fix per circuit. I chose the one-fix option. Unfortunately, the one "fix" that was performed (a new AFCI installed in an outlet) did not actually fix the issue in that circuit (an excessive voltage drop). Although I did not receive a "fix" per se, at least that outlet and all downstream outlets on that circuit are now arc fault protected. I give this company a 5-star rating because I felt confident that they (initially a technician and then a supervisor) were honest, competent, took the time to educate me on the issues and answer my questions, left me with a fairly detailed report (the evaluation), and did not use high-pressure tactics. Nevertheless, the 5 price quotes I received for different levels of work and repair were truly shocking (no pun intended). In my case, I will either get other quotes from different companies, abandon the project I had in mind due to the high cost, or may choose an entirely different approach."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

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.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
