"Kingdom responded on time with an accurate quote. When Nick arrived, 10 minutes early We proceeded to discuss what my plan was. This is where the great service began. I started out thinking I needed to replace fans in two bedrooms with new switches. I provided all the materials. Nick informed me I could return the wall switches I bought as the fans came with remotes and we could just use a regular switch because the switches I bought we not the correct type. First bedroom fan fixed. On to second bedroom. Nick informed me I couldn’t use an LED bulb in the fan as the fan wasn’t designed for LED. Problem solved. My wife reminded me we had another fan issue in another room. Nick checked the wall switch, changed dip switches and we agreed we would replace this fan with the now extra fan. On to outdoor lighting, I was mentally prepared to replace our outdoor light fixtures, nick tested each socket on our fixtures and identified I had a bad batch of bulbs. Just replace the bulbs and we will be good. At this point I am beyond pleased and start discussing the next few things on my longer term plans, including expanding the number of Ring products I have. One thing leads to another and Nick is off to Home Depot to get a couple Ring devices and the appropriate LED bulbs for our outdoor fixtures. A few hours later we have a new ring video doorbell pro and a ring floodlight installed and connected in my ring app. All new led light bulbs and detailed discussions about my next project. Attitude and quality of work were exceptional and I will be doing more work with kingdom in the future. I did not underpay, I did not overpay. I received great value for the work performed."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.
