Jarvis electric is a local family owned and operated business. We take pride in performing quality electric work at a reasonable price. We have over twenty years of experience in the electrical field. Honesty and integrity are two qualities we believe help to build a successful business. At Jarvis Electric we are building relationships, one job at a time. Update: We are currently not servicing East St. Louis.

"Jarvis Electric did all of the electric for our new build and has come back to add additional items that we have added since we have been in the home. Super responsive and quick to complete all requested work. Top notch service. Extremely reasonable price. I appreciate that they always keep a clean worksite and never leave a mess, even if coming back the next day to finish a job. I have not only used them for my home but referred them to my mom and dad as well when they needed work done. Great company with great people and really easy to deal with. They truly went above and beyond."

In business since 1992, Tri-State prides itself on providing top notch services and products to it's many customers. Our Service Plumbing team is ready and willing to tackle your project - be the need immediate or not. Simply reach out and we will dispatch a technician immediately to provide a quote and solve your problem!

"Only rating 1 because it doesn't go lower. Had a new unit installed end of Sept 24. First time power goes out on 11/5, no electricity. When tri state sells you a product, they pitch their amazing customer service with all these guarnatees of knowing when your unit is out before you know and having someone there within 24 hours etc. Well, the first call we make we are told it will be the end of Nov to get someone out to look at it. 3 weeks. Nobody shows up. Then we get a call that says "your appointment on Dec 12 has been canceled and the earliest we can get to you is Jan 16th. This is 2.5 months wait to get service to fix a nearly $20k unit, that is upcharged because of the excellent service. You can't get anyone to answer your call. you wait on hold for 20 minutes, then have to leave a voicemail in which you will not get called back. Based on my experience, find someone else and pay less. Even if the service is bad, which it can't be worse than this, you save money! @kohler"

We take pride knowing we offer the very best in service and expertise, at an affordable price. We offer 24 hour emergency service for customer's peace of mind. We also offer a same day service to ensure customer appreciation and overall customer happiness. Since 1978, Don't be left in the dark, call Wesling Electric Corp. today!

"I am so pleased with my choice to hire Wesling Electric. Robert was polite, professional and easy to work with. Of the three bids I received for my project, his bid was in the middle price-wise. I was confident hiring Robert because he seemed very competent and would be the same person who would be coming back to do the work. I didn't have to worry about job details getting mixed up or miscommunicated between a project manager and worker. As of March 2022 Wesling Electric was booking one week out (this was the same timeframe for all 3 companies I spoke with). The job took less than a day. Robert confirmed how I wanted the new switches to work and didn't mind me being picky with the placement of a ceiling fan. I will definitely contact this company again for future electrical projects in my home."

"Worst electric company - seriously. Im a former employee of 6 years. I ended up leaving the company after they refused to pay me for work I had performed. It was a mere 450$ but that is not the point. They are one of the lowest paying companies (at least while I was there) and they are VERY unsafe. I was instructed by Andy Bates (co ceo) to perform several service changes without Ameren disconnecting their power coming into the home - meaning I put my life in danger working on linemans work without proper PPE and violated OSHA policies. They send second year apprentices to do service call work because they make far less money but they charge the same rate (I was one of them). So there is a good chance you get someone still in training showing up at your house to perform work. Please support an honest business and dont feed these greedy idiots. They still owe me 450$!!"

"We had a great experience with Votum Electric! We purchased a historic home a month ago and our inspector noted a few issues in need of a certified electrician: GFIs installed, A/C disconnect boxes remounted, and old wiring updated. Sue reached out the same day I submitted my Angi project and scheduled the free estimate visit for just a week after we closed. Charlie did a thorough walkthrough to talk me through what he'd need to do to address each issue. He sent an estimate promptly after wrapping up. Votum's estimate came in well below other companies we contacted; their pricing seems very fair. Cory and Matt came out a few weeks later and completed all the work in one day. They were friendly and professional and did another walkthrough to explain the work they'd done. The project was on-budget and the team left our house neat. So far, everything is working as expected. Payment via credit card was easy and Sue in the office was incredibly responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

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.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.
