Customers say: Quick response

"Tony was great about strategizing the different issues we had with some of our electrical systems. He brought the supplies he needed, worked the problem so that he could tell me if then wiring was good or if the issues where coming from something else. He also helped make a plan moving forward what we could do if the problem wasnâ t resolved. He has a keen eye for finish work and fixed the botched job from the previous remodel. He stays focused on the work and ensures he doesnâ t overcharge or waste the customers time or money. Iâ d have him back in a heartbeat- great work!"

"I can't thank Ryan enough for coming out to my in-laws home today. Finding a Service Electician in the Flathead Valley is almost impossible. We called at least 8 places and nobody could come out. Some said it would be a couple months. Ryan made time at the end of his workday to stop by on the way home to help us. He fixed our problem, and we were good to go in 30 minutes. I can't thank Ryan enough for going out of his way for us. The Valley needs more Service Electricians like this."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

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.

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.
