We at JLC Electric, LLC, focus on quality over quantity. We use our years of experience and expertise to complete your project with perfection. Customer service and honesty are the most important aspects of our business and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Please call us today for an estimate. We look forward to working with you.

"JLC contacted me immediately and came out quickly to scope out the job and provide an estimate. Jim seems like an experienced and knowledgeable electrician. I hired him to do the work but was not happy with the workmanship in the end. Jim and his helper made an unnecessary hole in my drywall while installing a new receptacle, then did a bad job patching it. I ended up having to fix it myself. Also they did not recess a quad receptacle in my workspace as I had requested. Had to have them return to fix that too, as well as replace an oversized exterior GFI outlet they installed on the siding. I accept responsibility for that one, as I feel we did not have clear communication about my expectations. They were responsive when I called to complain about the work, and came out to fix everything quickly. I know Jim was not happy, but he remained professional and did what I asked. At the 2nd visit, I paid the low end of the estimate and told them to bill me for the rest, but they never did."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

The typical cost of a home generator is around $5,000, but prices range from $400 up to $13,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factor is the generator size, as larger generators that can support more square footage usually cost more. You can install an emergency backup generator for between $500 and $2,000 or a partial-home generator for between $2,000 and $6,500. Whole-home generators usually total between $5,000 and $13,000, with some models climbing as high as $18,000.

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.

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.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.
