"First Class Electric did an excellent job on a difficult install. The customer service team kept me informed and was courteous and professional. Hector and Jesus did a great job overcoming challenges in preparation and clearing up an initial misunderstanding which was quickly addressed at the office. Hector, Jesus, and Andrew worked long hours over three days to complete the upgrade and install a new circuit for a hot water heater."

"I neede duel fuel range installed. Home Depot could not do job. Went to HometAdvisor. David came out to survey situation. By late afternoon he and his dad had removed my old range and installed ne one, and hauled away the old range. They were professional, polite informative and did job the same day. I am a double amputee and confined to a wheelchair, so my wife had to do most of the talking and explaining to David about the job, he in turn showed her what needed to be done. I will use David again if I need other work done. I would definitely recommend his company"

"I can't say enough on how well of a job the electrician did on my house - I am so pleased I have been letting my friends/relatives know how good he is. The electrician went above and beyond, he wanted to ensure everything was top notch and it was. He uses top rated products with his work, not the cheaper stuff that perhaps other companies may utilize. The electrician was prompt and kept to his word on everything he communicated, from total costs to when he would be arriving, etc. If your looking for a great electrician, you have found one with this company - workmanship is outstanding!!!"

"Crew was polite and fairly efficient. They installed a fan they had never seen before and had trouble figuring out how to put it together. This job required running electric and they had to cut holes in the drywall. They replaced the cut-out pieces but they could have taken more time with this, which would have made it easier to patch and paint later. Otherwise, they did a good job!"

"Hired A Security Solution to install fencing for me. I was so pleased with Erik and the work his guys did that I have now hired them to remodel my 2 bathrooms, install laminate wood floors in my whole house, and build a planter for me. The cost is very reasonable and Dawn their interior decorator has been super helpful with designing the bathrooms all while meeting my needs and wants. Great company! I highly recommend them."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.

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 your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.
