"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!

"Extremely well. Although the generator was installed some time ago by Doug, a new problem arose with the central air conditioning when the electric power went out and the generator needed to run. Doug spoke with the company servicing the generator and the air conditioning to find a solution and fixed the problem. At my request, he communicated long distance with my son (an engineer), to explain what was happening, as I had little knowledge of the problem and solution. Doug spent considerable time and triple checked that the solution was working before he finished. As always, Doug was extremely caring and efficient."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

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.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.
