"Jason with Battle Born Electric was amazing. He came out today after previously providing us with a quote and installed a new 240v EV charging plug in my garage. He was able to add a circuit to the power box attached to the house and run cable through the roof to my garage. The work only took him about 2.5 hours, alone. I was able to sit on the couch and relax knowing the job was in good hands."

"After purchasing an eight camera exterior Lorex DVR system from Costco, I wanted professional installation with hard wiring on a two story home in Dayton. Austin did a great job scoping the work over the phone asking questions to determine my needs, explaining the installation and took time to answer questions. His explanation really sold me on his technical expertise and experience with what I needed. Quote was provided verbally and through email at a reasonable price. Great communication over the phone and email! The owners Mike and Austin were my onsite technicians showing up right on time as scheduled. They were friendly and approachable with needs and offered great ideas along the way. The camera angles were better than expected. They worked six hours non-stop with attention to every detail, crawling through attic insulation and on ladders inside and outside ensuring to protect walls and floors as they worked. They took time to vacuum their work area throughout the install. Worked great together as a team! Went above and beyond to ensure no camera cable wires are visible on the exterior or at the junction box inside connecting to the DVR with a clean, professional installation. They wanted to ensure I was happy with camera angles on the DVR before concluding. The final amount due was as quoted with no surprises or hidden costs/fees and quality workmanship. Very happy with what I paid for. Remember the saying, "you get what you pay for" if thinking about cheaping out with Geek Squad. I'd highly recommended Northern Nevada Low Voltage and would use them again for future needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.
