"They sent two very professional Electrician's who worked 9 hours without taking not even one break or a lunch.
They were very good, clean, worked well together, and presented themselves very professional.
 
As I said they were electricians and not carpenters. 
They had to cut into my wall to have the new panel fit and they
left a 4 inch gap by 12 inches long under the panel installation and they left the wall paneling unattached that surrounds the new electric panel.  The cut they made at the bottom is jagged and very rough.  I can visibly see all the wiring under the electric panel and behind the wall paneling.
 There are also two copper wires out in my back yard that are sticking up from the ground where they didn't bury them deep enough.  I am afraid my lawn service will run over them if I don't mark off that area.
 
I also have not received an invoice nor a receipt from either time they were at my house.  All I will have is my credit card STATEMENT.  This I know was my fault but I was still in a state of shock having to worry about a possible fire and where the money was coming from. 
That is why I gave them a C instead of an A.  Although they informed me the new panel was bigger and they had to cut, I just think they should have taken a little more time to measure and nail up the existing wall.
Today I see an offer on Angies List for the same service for half the amount they charged me.  I am certainly sure that I have been ripped off.

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

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. 

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.
