"Sebastian was top rate. On time, diagnosed issue, checked outlets & breakers. He had the right parts in the truck and was able to install new breakers (replacing the prone to fail AFI/GFI combo). Refrigerator is safe and the dishwasher/disposal is working again. Very happy with the great service and the on-the-job explanations that he had to help me be an educated customer. I will definitely use Sebastian on my coming up home improvement projects."

Customers say: True professional

"Sean did a good job and worked efficiently. He was able to do all the tasks we requested. I'm satisfied with his work. He did our job on a Saturday and I was very happy he went out of his way to work us into the schedule. I would hire him again, no question. The only disappointment was that he didn't clean up afterward as well as I thought would be done. For example, where metal siding had to be cut to install new fixtures, there were still pieces of the sharp metal lying around (larger than an inch square)."

Not only is he focused and efficient, he reviews the work he completed and cleans up before he leaves. I've referred Brandl Electric to friends who were very pleased with their work as well."

"Brandon was great. I called him, he was available, and my job was finished three hours later. He communicated well, gave me a clear estimate, and showed up exactly when he said he would. He had to dig a trench in my flower bed mulch to bury a wire, and he put all the mulch back carefully- you couldnâ t even see anything had been done. I will use him in the future whenever I need an electrician."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

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.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.
