"I have hired Tim for several projects both residential and commercial. He has performed jobs such as: Commercial: 1. Power and lighting for a 32 test bay facility for medical equipment. From 480v 3 phase to power the machines to 120v for auxiliary equipment. 2. A 12 slot power grid for medical equipment trailers. 3. Running 220v power for the packing machines in the logistics area. Residential: 1. The power and lighting requirements for a master bathroom remodel. 2. Set up the main breaker panel to allow for a portable generator to run key appliances during a power outage. In every case Tim and his crew have been on time, thorough, clean, quick. He charges fair rates that beat the competition. I will use Tim for all my electrical needs."

"Review: I recently had an EV charger installed at my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Shield electric was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the entire process. The installation was completed flawlessly, and everything was left clean and organized. Our electrician took the time to explain the setup and ensured everything was working perfectly before leaving. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of electrical work, especially EV charger installations!"

"He received the notice early on Saturday morning and called within an hour. He was at my house to get the estimate done an hour after that. We agreed to have the install done the following Friday to give him time to get the permits done. He and his son we exactly on time and the price was actually lower than I anticipated. A totally professional job. This guy is on my list for my next electrical job."

Generator Install FAQs, 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 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.

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.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
