Customers say: Quick response

"bought new path lights for our home. tried to install myself. Out of 8 lights only two came on. in addition, couldn't remove old lights from wires due to horrible clips from old lights. In about 20 minutes after the job started half of my lights were working. he wired them the way i asked so i didn't have to worry if one failed...i could replace without those darn clips. Just looking outside and finally seeing them work made me so very happy. the lights came on tonight at dusk. I could hardly wait to see them. I've been outside 3x since dark. I just cannot believe how great they look. he even replaced light bulbs and checked my eye on my lamp post. all is very very well here thanks to midnight sun. amazing and fast job. definitely a favorite contractor."

"Jordan Blake from Exceptional Electric rocks! His communication prior to coming out was very thorough, and he was able to schedule us in two days. While he was onsite he found multiple items from years of DIY wiring, one major one. He clearly communicated al recommended changes to better match current code. As to the major item, he discovered the transformer was causing over-voltage delivery into our main! He had me call United Electric, and the linemen were out even before Jordan left – kudos to U.E. Cooperative – and replaced the transformer on the pole. All this for what started out as just putting a new 30A circuit in for a mini-split! Our mini-split is not yet on site, so we look forward to having Jordan back to the farm to complete the electrical plus a couple of the found issues next week. He is so knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. His sense of humor is also a delight, and my husband enjoyed learning and discussing many things with him. His prices are excellent."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

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.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
