"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!"

"We replaced the original roof on our house. I expressed my concerns about re-installation of the lightening rods to my roofer. We have had at least three direct hits since they were originally installed in 2013. My roofer called William who was very helpful. William offered to come out an make sure everything was 100% after re-installation. He came the day after I called and I'm glad he did. While the reinstall was the best he had seen (his words) there were issues after 5 year and 3 strikes that needed addressed. He fixed those and now I have a new roof and I am certain the lightening rods will work as intended. Highly recommend this company."

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

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

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.

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

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.

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