"We were VERY PLEASED we hired TAMCOAT! WOW, they did an AWESOME job and we now know to call "OUR ELECTRICIAN" for any future jobs. We gave them about 6 - 7 "TO DO" items and the work was done very efficiently and quality all the way. We were VERY IMPRESSED! Thank you TAMCOAT for your fine service."

"I was lucky enough to find Drew to do all of the electrical work in a renovation project on an older home. The work was extensive and also required a lot of creativity and know-how to figure the best way to do things. Drew has been absolutely unbelievable! The lighting in this house is my favorite part of it. He’s got amazing ideas and he does things properly. He’s been reliable and he doesn’t overcharge. He also is an excellent communicator and make sure that what he’s doing is what you want. Can’t say enough about him as a professional, and he’s also a delight to have around the job site. He works well with the other tradesmen and helps me coordinate around lot of the other work that’s going on simultaneously. I give him my highest recommendation!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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.
