"Excellent father and son team replaced old smoke alarms throughout the house and hard wired them with zero damage to ceilings. They showed me how the alarms will work for good peace of mind. Also fixed wiring to my backyard outdoor lights and got them up and functioning again. Great work on both projects!"

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

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.
