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

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

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.

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.

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.
