"We hired Bi-State Electric to run a 20 amp circuit from our house to our new garden shed. This required Scott to hand dig a trench about 25 feet long between the house and shed. He installed a small porch light on the shed and a ceiling fan/light inside with switches to operate both. He also installed a total of 5 outlets at various locations inside the shed. As an added service, Scott installed a Whole House Surge Protector to our electrical panel and provided a safety inspection of the panel at no additional cost above his quoted price. Once the work was completed, the County Inspector came out and gave his stamp of approval."

"I have not received the invoice yet, so I am only speculating about the value for money question above; however, these guys did a fantastic job. They far superseded my expectations by accomplishing more than I had originally anticipated. They were courteous, professional, and competent and managed to get a tremendous amount of work done in a reasonable time. They even corrected something that another contractor had left undone. I will call these guys again when I need an electrician. They fixed two dimmer switches that have never worked properly the entire time we have lived here, repaired GFCI outlets, did some arduous work (literally ditch-digging) to replace a wire to the septic system that had gone bad, and offered great advice when I had lots of questions. They took great care to clean up after their work and removed their shoes every time, they entered the home to ensure the carpets were not dirty."

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.
