"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."

"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."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

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.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.
