"I had an outstanding experience with Miguel and highly recommend him for any electrical work! He arrived on time, was incredibly warm, courteous, and professional throughout the entire process. Miguel went above and beyond by securing a permit from the county, installing a transfer switch for my new generator, and even arranging for the inspector to come the same day. The installation was completed quickly, accurately, and at a great price. His attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction were exceptional. I will definitely hire Miguel again for any future electrical needs. Five stars!"

"Great Service and communications. John was a pleasure to work. He contacted me immediately and they arrived ahead of scheduled time and date I chose. I highly recommend them. JD was the team member that performed the work. JD installed 3 keyless light fixtures and a Transformer for our Ring Door Bell. JD was very nice to work with, very professional and cleaned up the work area."

"Outstanding. First they installed a quad outlet and a z-wave switch in our new garage - did a great job for low cost. So we hired them again to install a ceiling fan outlet in my home office, which has a 15 foot ceiling. They installed the outlet before I obtained the fan, then came back a second time and installed the fan, and did not charge us extra for having to make a second trip. As a last minute add-on, they also fished an internet cable through the walls from my wife's office where the service comes in, to a wall outlet in my office, so I now have a direct connection in my office. Took care of it on the same day they did the ceiling fan. Also, they took care of all the inspections and permits. Very professional, reliable, prompt, competent, and nice to work with."

"Greg was wonderful! He inspected our outlet, determined the issue and repaired it. He also took the time to explain the units in our circuit box and the wall outlet. I felt very confident in his work and would absolutely hire him again. I am so glad we found Streamline Services on Angie’s List."

"Both installers were very polite and citrus. After installing my unit they explained in fine detail how everything worked. Great workers and completed the work fast. I would recommend Blanton's Heating and Air to all my friends and I hope they get the same workers that installed my system. Great Job."

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.

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.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

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.
