"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."

"After a scare by my smoke alarms going off suddenly at night, a 911 call, and visit by local fire dept. who suggested that I have the smoke alarms checked by an electrician; I called K2 Electric. Tom was very professional, and accommodating. He checked the smoke alarms to make sure they were installed properly and installed 2 more while here. He informed me that â newâ alarms arenâ t always in sync with â olderâ models when hard-wired, therefore itâ s best to have all new ones installed. While he was here, I remembered gfi outlet that tripped regularly when in use. Tom replaced that as well. All told it was about 30minutes beginning to end for everything. The price was more than fair for peace of mind- no tax for paying in cash! I have his business card and will use them again in the future if need be. Highly recommended! Thanks Tom."

"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

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

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. 

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.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.
