Tired of dealing with late, unproffessional contractors who leave your home/business worse than it was when they started?! Electrical work is no joke. Our electricians are knowledgeable, reliable, and on time! We always clean up after ourselves and not just do the work, but keep you updated and even teach you some helpful tips while we work on your project. We guarantee all of our labor and do things right, the first time! We're the underdog and would love to show you what great of a company we are! We want lifelong customers, not just a quick buck. God bless.

"Triad Electric Solutions is very expensive, and they don't make their business practices known up front. It lists on Angi that he provides a warranty for his work. When I asked him about it via email, he did not provide me with any warranty or guarantee. David uses high pressure tactics to get you to agree to work. He builds trust and then lets you down. I paid for his team to install an attic fan just a couple of months ago, and it has already stopped working. I am a widow, so I will need to pay additional money to another contractor to get it fixed. I found out while his team was at my house that he is on probation with the state electrical licensing board for some of the same things I experienced working with him."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

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. 

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

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. 

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.
