"Roy is really a prof. He installed two overhead fans and a hanging lamp. The fans had a complicated control system but he was able to get them to work flawlessly. Bonus: he is really a nice person and he cleaned up too! I would recommend his work to anyone."

"I asked for a team to install and wire 8 kitchen can lights. Great professional team that came in on time, did a great job protecting the kitchen, finished the job in less than 2 hours, and cleaned up behind themselves entirely. They charged a very reasonable price, and made the whole project as smooth and seamless as possible. Definitely recommend for your project."

"Darren, the owner of Mr. Sparky, was both very knowledgeable and accommodating.  Our appointment to install an external generator connection box and power switch at the main electrical panel was made around our schedule and convenience.  The day before our appointment (Sunday), I left a message for Darren to call me and asked if he could come to our house by 8 A.M. that Monday (had previously specified "morning" only).  He said he would "try" not knowing how badly his service truck was buried at the shop after a 28 inch blizzard just hit us on Saturday.  Nevertheless, Darren arrived bright and early at 8 A.M. sharp the following morning, albeit, a little tired.  He explained that he had gone to his shop late Sunday night to dig out his truck so he could make our requested appointment time!
His installation of the new switch was very professional and he was very considerate about making sure our rugs were kept clean even though the conditions outside after the snow storm were still very bad.  He took the time to show my wife and I how to operate the new switch and advised us on what appliances could be used in the event we needed to run our 6000 watt generator.
As it turned out, Darren was also able to find a potential fire hazard in the original panel wiring.  A neutral wire in the terminal block must have been loose for a long time and showed signs of overheating.  Darren came back later that evening and fixed it at no charge.
We highly recommend Darren and Mr. Sparky as a home electrical service company and we would definitely use them again!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
