"Everything went really smooth. Larry & Aaron really know what they’re doing. We needed to add a GFCI receptacle and they had to cut into the exterior of our home. They also added a circuit switch for a generator hookup. This was no simple electrical work and it took some expert skill. These guys KNOW what they’re doing and will be my go to electricians in the future. HIGHLY recommend!"

"Review: I recently had an EV charger installed at my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Shield electric was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the entire process. The installation was completed flawlessly, and everything was left clean and organized. Our electrician took the time to explain the setup and ensured everything was working perfectly before leaving. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of electrical work, especially EV charger installations!"

"He received the notice early on Saturday morning and called within an hour. He was at my house to get the estimate done an hour after that. We agreed to have the install done the following Friday to give him time to get the permits done. He and his son we exactly on time and the price was actually lower than I anticipated. A totally professional job. This guy is on my list for my next electrical job."

"I hired Shock & Awe Electric to do some electrical work at my home in Ocean Isle Beach, NC. They responded quickly to my Home Advisor App request and came out to give me a quote on my project the very next day. They installed a fan light on my dock, along with adding an on off switch; they installed on my house two ring flood lights and three motion sensor flood lights which required them to move existing electrical fixtures and relocate them and lastly they re-wired a outdoor shower light and added an on/off switch. They scheduled the work when it was convenient for me, showed up on time and did excellent work. The price of the project was very fair and they cleaned up well behind themselves. I will use them again and recommend them highly. Shawn and Rick are very professional and personable guys ."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

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.

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.
