"I was pleased with the work done by Allred Electrical. The process of removing my old fuse box, installing a new panel, having the town inspector come out, and the electric company coming out to remove the old outside box took longer than expected. Allred was short handed because an employee was out due to illness but they have no control over the town inspector's nor Duke Energy's schedules. Even though the process from start to finish took a little longer than expected I was only without power for part of one day by they came back on a Sunday to check on something I thought was a problem. The only problems I can think of were the fact that I couldn't get a detailed invoice prior to the job of what was to be done with a cost break down and I'm waiting for them to come back to add outlets. So I will update this review once the full job is complete."

"Great experience with Dr. Sparky Electrical Service. Angel was our electrician, and he was knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. He took the time to diagnose the issue and clearly explain what was causing the problem and what needed to be done to fix it. The service was reasonably priced, and I appreciated the communication throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Dr. Sparky and Angel for anyone needing electrical work."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.
