"Jason with Battle Born Electric installed under-cabinet lighting in my kitchen and dimmers on all the many overhead lights in my kitchen and living room. The under-cabinet lighting is also dimmable and, in addition to being practical, really accents that area. Jason was professional, easy to work with and very reasonable in pricing. I am very pleased with the work done by Jason and recommend Battle Birn Electric."

"They showed up on time and did a great job. I made a last-minute change where the charger should be installed, and it was a little further away and harder to get to, but Jacob and his team got right on it made the necessary adjustments and got my charger plug in installed and it looks great. Jacob even took a look at an outlet in my bathroom and quickly fixed that on the way out. The work was top notch at a fair price. I will hire Trouble Shooting Electrical for any future needs I may have."

"He diagnosed and fixed the issue. Showed up early evening, after what I assume was a long day, because we were under a time crunch, and that was greatly appreciated."

"I was really impressed with the level of service I received from Kirby Electric. Taryn was very responsive and helpful when my dryer all of a sudden quit working. He determined that when my solar panels were installed, the line for my dryer had been knocked out of the breaker, and he was able to resolve my issue quickly before it became an emergency . He also installed my bathroom lights and canned lighting in my kitchen, which I love! I would definitely recommend this company to others."

"I was really impressed with Cameron and Tracy. They Installed a Sub Panel on the opposite side of the house from my Main Electrical Panel to bring power to a future shop project. I only had to go over the project with Cameron once and he took care of everything. They did quality work at a price point within my budget and also managed to finish ahead of schedule. I was unable to be there while they worked but they arrived on time and put the equipment exactly where I had asked. They were good with my dog and cleaned up after themselves. I will definitely use them again when it’s time to start the shop."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

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.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

The cost to install a whole-house generator averages $5,200, with a typical price range of $1,500 to $8,900. However, total costs can vary from $400 for a small portable unit to over $18,000 for a large-capacity system. The most significant cost factor is the generator's size and capacity, but other variables include the brand, fuel type, and labor for assembly and installation.

Generator costs can be broken down by type:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500 to $2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000 to $6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000 to $18,000

To avoid paying for more power than you need, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load for your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes to find the best deal for your specific needs and budget.
