"Hired this company and they showed up when said they would. Found that there was a wiring issue with an appliance that could of caused a major issue, with no extra cost. Put an electrical outlet on back deck with no mess and cleaned up after themselves, rare thing these days. Very pleasant, and let us know exactly what was done and no extras without informing first with a price that did not vary. Would recommend to all."

"Triton electric truly deserves a five star rating from me. Triton first completed lighting work for exterior of THE GYM last year and it was done efficiently and exceeded our expectations on timing and professionalism. Over the last 2 months we have begun renovations and a new construction project here at THE GYM, Triton electric was our first choice. From the initial quoting of the job, to the installation, to the consulting with our architect and contractors, Triton has been extremely professional, communicative and reliable. Thomas’s whole team have been a pleasure to work with and we as a company would highly recommend and continue to use them for all of our projects going forward."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

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.
