"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

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

When installed and used correctly, generators are safe to use. The most critical generator safety tips to keep in mind are:

  • Never use a portable generator inside an enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide exhaust it creates is lethal.

  • Never attempt to connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel independently; hire a professional for this dangerous job.

  • Never overload your generator by connecting more appliances than for which it’s rated; you can damage your generator and appliances or even cause a fire.
