"I volunteered to remodel a newly purchased house built in 1952 (with three subsequent additions over time) for my elderly sister who was moving to Albuquerque. The wiring situation in the house was very complicated - there were three separate electrical boxes being used, with one the original from 1952. I had an incredibly difficult time finding electricians willing to take on the task of combining these boxes and adding new wiring. Most electrical companies I called had no interest in this job and the few times I convinced an electrical company to come out, evaluate the situation, and provide an estimate - I never received a call back. I had a very limited time in which to have the house finished and I lost a lot of sleep agonizing over who might come and help me out. Then True Light Electric was recommended to me by the HVAC company I was using ... and True Light was indeed the brightest light in this otherwise difficult remodel I was attempting. They came over immediately after my call, walked through and evaluated all that needed to be done and, decided they would be willing to accept the challenge -- and challenge it was. They provided an extremely reasonable estimate that I gladly accepted. Their knowledgeable, personable, and hard working technicians worked to fit my compressed schedule and satisfy all the electrical needs of the remodel. Their technicians were always punctual, friendly, and easy to talk with. They readily explained what they were doing, how they were doing it, and discussed with me the best way to resolve the unforeseen issues they found. Along with consolidation of the existing wiring and adding fans and new outlets, there was the complete wiring of a new kitchen. Now, after the completion of their work, I feel confident that the electrical system in the house is safe and reliable for my sister. I highly recommend this company for any type of electrical work and would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts
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.
Yes, whole-house generators run constantly for extended periods. Whole-house generators can run for longer periods of time than portable generators, but be careful. First, they may need regular applications of engine oil (as frequently as daily), depending on the engine design. Second, running constantly for several days will increase the wear and tear on the generator and shorten its lifespan.
As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.
Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.
While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.
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.
