"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

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

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

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.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.
