"Julian and his assistant replaced our old breaker panel, and also installed a portable generator portal along with an interlock kit, all for a very reasonable price. The work was careful and professional. Very satisfied."

"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."

"ad an excellent experience with this electrician. He came out to my building to take a circuit breaker panel out of service and perform the necessary disconnects. Instead of just doing the work and charging us, he took the time to thoroughly inspect the panel and discovered it was not powered at all. He showed me everything clearly and was completely honest about the situation. Because of his integrity, my company saved over $1,500 in unnecessary work. It’s rare to find someone this straightforward and trustworthy in the field. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and professional electrician."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

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.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
