"I had them replace an old chandelier. The installation went well. I caution others that their job quoting can be improved. The quote they provided was for 1.5 hours of labor. Based on other quotes, I knew the installation should take about 1 hour. The installation took 1 hour. However, I got charged 1 hour for 3 workers."

"We could not be more happy with the service we received from Sam. He added electricity to our 12 x 24 foot shed that we had built in our back yard. He ran electrical lines from our breaker box to the back yard. He installed fluorescent lights and outlets inside our shed and an exterior light to meet code. From the time that I initially contacted him for a quote to the follow-up call we received after he was done, everything was done completely professional and to code. We had received a couple quotes from other electricians and none of them mentioned doing work to code. Sam ensured that we had a zoning permit and that was very reassuring because that meant we knew everything was going to be done by the book. The end project was way above my expectations and we got exactly everything that we wanted, plus the county passed our permit."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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.
