Mr. Electric® is a global franchise organization providing electrical installation and repair services. Recognized by Entrepreneur magazine among its ?Franchise 500,? Mr. Electric franchisees provide these services to both residential and commercial customers at almost 200 locations worldwide. Mr. Electric is a subsidiary of the Neighborly® family of service franchises.

"I originally called Mr. Electric regarding a generator issue I was having. They stated it was likely because I had the connection set up at 30 amps instead of 50 amps. I subsequently asked them to come out and switch my set up from 30 to 50 amps. The technician came and installed one new 4 pole 50 amp breaker, about 6 feet of 6/4 wire, and a 50 amp inlet box. Total for materials when I looked them up online was less than $200. They charged me $884 total. That means they charged me $684 just for labor and the technician was only here for about half an hour. I looked up up the average hourly rate for electricians in my state and it averages about $70/hrs. Even if they charged me for a full hour of labor that means they charge almost 10X the normal rate. I don't know why they scammed be or if this is their normal MO but being a senior citizen this is a hit. AVOID THIS COMPANY!!"

Small shop available for any type of electrical work and service. Small shop prices too. NC licensed #31530 and Insured, COI available at request. Very easy to work with. Open to business deals as well. We would love to be of service to you or your business if needed. All usual perks apply as your phone book ad guys - free estimates, professional vetted employees, drug testing and safety program. I am an OSHA and CPR instructor so this is part of every day safety for us. I have been in the business for 24 years and owned my own company since 2015. Here is a sample of our work: - Residential and commercial service in homes, condos, factories, commercial businesses, etc. - FREE 'water in power' test. ESD (electric shock drowning) is a very real danger. No strings attached. - F45 fitness - Modern Pet Spa - Rock Box - Pet supplies Plus - Apartments - Lighting plans and footcandle CAD drawings - Duke energy rebates - Hundreds of others and references available. One of our BEST jobs recently: I was able to work a duke rebates program with the right light and the right facility and managed to get the cost of each light, labor and materials, down to $2.00 a fixture for the customer. That is how hard we work for each and every customer. Thank you for visiting! Hope we can be of assistance. Jeff, Zenith Electric 910-789-3144

"Mr. Riecken did a quick and fantastic job! He installed a motion activated security light and a camera giving my property protection and me, peace of mind. Would I hire him again? Absolutely!! Infact, I have already spoken to him about more lights and cameras on my house."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

The typical cost of a home generator is around $5,000, but prices range from $400 up to $13,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factor is the generator size, as larger generators that can support more square footage usually cost more. You can install an emergency backup generator for between $500 and $2,000 or a partial-home generator for between $2,000 and $6,500. Whole-home generators usually total between $5,000 and $13,000, with some models climbing as high as $18,000.

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.

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.

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.
