"The office of a non-profit organization for which I provide volunteer IT services had outgrown it's current location and needed to move. They found ample space in the education building of a local Charlotte church. The three rooms contained a total of 7 electrical outlets on an unknown number of electrical circuits - not enough for 10 or more desktop computers, 3 laser printers and various and sundry other items. Additionally, we needed to run Ethernet lines from a central switch to 13 locations in these three rooms. And finally, we had to provide AT&T a route to get their fiber inside the building and to the middle room of the three where the gigabit switch was located. I received a quote from an established, well-respected electrical contractor for $4250 for the electrical work, and another quote from a custom cable installer for $4450 to run the Ethernet lines. When I requested a quote from the electrician to run for both the electrical work AND running the Ethernet lines, I didn't get any response. Rather than asking for more quotes from big, established contractors, I searched Angies List for firms which might not be quite as busy. Viva Electric seemed to be a new company with only a few reviews, all of which were positive. So I called and asked for a quote for both the electrical work and running the Ethernet lines. Jimmy Giler arrived exactly on time to survey the area. His quote arrived before it was promised. He quoted $5500 for the electrical and Ethernet work (thousands less than the combined quotes from the more established companies). Later, when AT&T was unable to provide Internet and telephone services because they couldn't get their fiber inside the building, Jimmy provided that access for them and ran another Ethernet line from the fiber location to the switch box location for another $300. He estimated that the work would take 5 days for two men. He himself showed up (along with his father, Wilson) to do the work - once again, exactly on time. We went over a detailed plan of where we wanted to outlets placed and where we wanted the Ethernet lines run. He positioned everything EXACTLY where we wanted it. Because of the construction of the building, he was able to run wires in the attic, but he was not able to run the wires behind the walls (due to the presence of purlins) so he ran the wires on the surface of the wall covered by a raceway. This was done very neatly and the brackets were screwed into the drywall using drywall anchors. At the end of the job, he used touch-up paint to cover any little nicks or imperfections. All the Ethernet connections were tested and labeled. All the electrical outlets were tested, and the dedicated laser printer outlets (single receptacle per circuit) were labeled. This job took two men five days to complete, and I know that the days were longer than eight hours! In my opinion, Jimmy Giler did an exceptional job. He is absolutely my electrician of choice from now on!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.

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.

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.
