"The pro was professional yet friendly. Not only was the kitchen light fixture installed, he had to troubleshoot another light in order for it to work. I will definitely call on AKA Electric for all my electrical needs."

"We're writing this review LATE, as work was done Oct 2018 and we have often talked about what a great experience we had with the installation by AKA of 2 indoor ceiling fans, 1 outdoor ceiling fan, chandelier, 4 other ceiling fixtures to upgrade at our fairly new home. These guys work hard and smart. Builder had told us pre-wired for ceiling fans and that was not the case with one heavy fan--took extra time to crawl attic space, took me along to help me find wall control switch at their lunch break. Overall just about the best contractor experience we've had in a long time. Honest, fair in pricing. Good communication skills. Would hire again when we need any electrical installs."

"We got them through another company. It's part of a contract; they come twice and then after that, it's up to us to call someone to replace the filters and all that. The first two are free after the installation so there was no charge for that one. He put in a refrigerator. We had a swamp cooler; we put in the refrigerator. That was all they did. They did a very good job. On the price, it probably was a good deal at the time. They were here, they were very prompt."

"We initially had a professional detailed review of house vents and air flow layout (Blake), meticulously researching all products requested and AC compatibility with current furnace (AC goes under furnace), from extremely knowledgable estimator/sales. Afterwards Wagner performed a thorough and impeccable one day (HVAC), to two day (upgrade electrical panel and add transfer switch panel for portable generator, and add additional exterior outlet on garage shop) installation. They sent 3 separate crews to house in one day. Levi (electrician) upgraded the electrical panel on house (Siemens solar ready panel) for house, installing transfer switch (ProTran for portable generator), put in additional electrical 220 outlet outside shop area. Major job very professionally completed. Another crew installed Mitsubishi mini split into shop garage, and a third crew installed (Carrier) central air conditioning into house, removing the inefficient swamper cooler. Major work on our house was performed, with incredible workmanship, and almost half the price of the local competitor. You read that right. Half the price for the SAME equipment quoted by the competitor. What more can I say? Wagner Mechanical is now our go-to for plumbing, heating, electrical, and HVAC. We very highly recommend Wagner Mechanical. The competitor is obviously price gouging and empire building, as we had suspected, when we were getting our quotes. Before you commit to any other company, you may want to give Wagner Mechanical a call to give you an estimate on your job, and then decide. The crew that Wagner hires are quite knowledgable, friendly, incredibly experienced, and very efficient; they know their professions, they know how to get the Jobe done, and they work well within their teams. They do a thorough and complete job and neatly clean up. They are extremely skilled professionals at a very reasonable price. The house is so cool and quiet now (no fans!) and comfortable in the summer heat, with everything completed in a 2 day time frame. Wow!! We should've called Wagner Mechanical at the beginning of summer instead of the end of summer. Give them a thumbs up when you see them driving around in their trucks around town, they are the best. And if you need any kind of work completed, don't hesitate to call Wagner first (not the other guys)."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

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.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.
