"Matt was very responsive via telephone.  I called a week or so ahead of time, to time it so I could be home during a day off from work.  I was trying to get the first appointment of the day, but missed it. However, that morning, he called to say he was ahead of schedule, and did I still want him to come as early as possible.  Very helpful.
He quickly installed the new outlet I asked for in my garage, and figured out why an outlet in our family kept shorting out.  Yes, perhaps I could ultimately have done these things myself, but he did them quickly, efficiently, and right the first time.
He also spent some time with me (at my request) to talk about my options for upgrades to my main electrical panel, advising as to cost, disruption, where digging would be required, etc.
I would definitely call him again - and will be doing so shortly.  I have another small project that I'd like to get his skills working on, and that reminded me that I needed to do this review!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

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.

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.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more.
