"The owner communicated with me quickly and sent two techs out to install my ring video doorbell and I’m happy with the work. I will hire them again soon to install a ceiling light fixture and some cafe patio lights."

I also own and maintain an RV park, so I understand the importance of quality work, dependable service, and getting the job done right the first time.\n\nWhether you need help with electrical, plumbing, carpentry, repairs, maintenance, or general handyman projects, I take pride in honest communication, clean workmanship, and treating every customer’s property with respect.

Hey i’m Jadon, i’ve been doing electrical work for 5 years and love getting new experience and perfecting my craft. I specialize in small commercial and residential, but I also have years experience in big commercial and industrial. I am employed with an electrical company, but like getting more experience with side work. I’ve worked all around NC and I live near Greensboro, so I don’t mind traveling an hour or 2 out. I work on panels, and put them in/wire them, underground, receptacles and lights, home appliances, remodels, electrical demo, and much more. I take pride in my work and always want my customers happy. I would never accept a job I don’t believe I could finish to my absolute best ability. Thank you and I look forward to doing great work for you!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.
