"John was very accommodating and understood exactly what we needed. He was prompt, courteous, and kept me informed throughout the process, as the work was done for my mother while I wasn't there. My mom was very pleased with her ceiling fan light fixture installation and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely call him again for any other job I need done. Thanks again John!"

"Wow, they just left and I am so beyond impressed with everything, from start to finish. Adam helped with our estimate and was a pleasure to work with. He came next day for our estimate and from there, went above and beyond to answer every single question and concern of mine, he was fair in his pricing, very timely in his responses and even remembered the layout of our home when I called a month later. They were even able to schedule the job next day due to the inclement weather. Jim and Matt arrived early and were so courteous and pleasant to work with (they were even extremely considerate of my infant's nap schedule). We had them install two new outlets for ac's and electronics and they had to snake the wires in impossible places. Jim listened to every single one of my concerns and came up with excellent solutions and they left everything in better condition than they found it. When I asked if there was another way to get the job done, he listened and offered to change his plan. It was so nice having a contractor actually listen to you and work with you. I will definitely be hiring them again - I am so glad I finally found an electrician that is respectful of an older home. Thank you Adam, Jim & Matt! You guys rock!"

"Fast and super helpful. Gave me a proposal right away. Started work same week. If deviations were needed, was specific on what and why. Reasonable and fair pricing, and honest about their capabilities and areas of expertise. Professional team and went out the way to provide additional references for other concerns. I also appreciated the video Fabio took to show me the before and after, especially in areas I was unable to see."

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.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.
