"A.k.A Electric, LLC is my go to Electrician and I highly recommend them. Communication-immediate, they called when they were on their way, and they answered all my questions thoroughly. Arrived on time and within 20 minutes had the problem identified and resolved. I had other Electricians who spent hours and gave up. I was so pleased I ended up having them install 5 floodlights, bathroom light, switches, etc. They worked efficiently and cleaned up at each install site. All work was completed in under 4 hours. I was so impressed I have additional projects (bathroom/kitchen makeover, security cameras, column lights, etc.) to work. The price for the work was extremely reasonable and they were so pleasant. I asked for additional contact cards to share with my neighbors and family. Hire A.K.A Electric, LLC and you'll be very happy. They know how to resolve problems!"

Crew arrived on promised date and installation went smoothly. Slight glitch regarding mistakenly not completely turning tankless water heater back on was immediately addressed by installation crew when notified. System functioning as advertised. Very pleased with Humidifier. Hope to have successful relationship with Albuquerque Plumbing in future."

"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 think I have found my forever Electrician! In my area, it is hard to find reliable contractors. Mike was incredibly knowledgeable and punctual! If he sets up a time with you, he shows up before you. He’s very quick to get invoices and cost emailed to you as well. I found his pricing to be incredibly reasonable and fair. When it came to job completion, Mike was Johnny on the spot. He came in and handled his business and got out without any mishaps. I of course, inspected after he installed my switches, ceilings, fans, lights, and wired all my new receptacles. This man is an artist. Everything was incredibly clean and well laid out. He actually puts love in pride into what he does! I’m very happy with my service and I absolutely will be using him again! Thanks Mike for kicking butt and getting that project knocked out! It looks amazing and I couldn’t be happier!"

"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!!!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

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.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

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. 

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.
